Service to Community and Citizens Project Revive aims to better the environment through educating and empowering the community to reuse plastic. The project focus is to limit the amount of plastic in both the local and general community, and to revive the environment to create a cleaner, brighter future through various educational outreach events. Goals of Project 1. Impact 300 or More Community Members: Project Revive aims to educate community members about plastic pollution through awareness, outreach, and volunteering. This project held a community-wide recycling drive to provide a location where members can efficiently recycle items ranging anywhere from plastic and glass bottles to e-waste. Revive’s movie night directly communicated to audiences why plastic pollution is an increasingly prevalent problem for the community. Through volunteering events around school campus and neighborhoods, Project Revive allows project members to learn steps to create a more eco-friendly community. 2. Hold At Least 3 Outreach Events and Meetings: The purpose of Project Revive’s outreach events is to increase member involvement in the community. To reach this goal, Project Revive chairs Abigail Shamelashvili and Shelby Jennett held weekly project meetings to organize community-wide events for members to step out of the high school classroom and spread their knowledge on plastic pollution. 3. Develop the Professional Skills of 50 Members: Through weekly project meetings and community service events, Project Revive members fostered professional skills such as leadership, public speaking, and marketing that will prepare them for future employment. 4. Partner with at Least 2 Other Organizations or Clubs On Campus: Project Revive partnered with local businesses and received sponsorships to distribute reusable products to the community. To expand on-campus impact, Project Revive collaborated with Homestead High School’s environmental clubs, including Green Ops, in order to plan outreach and awareness events. Future Activities Project Revive will continue the impact by pursuing to educate the community on plastic pollution and reduce the amount of plastic in the area through more screenings of Straws, the documentary. Additionally, the project will also partner with students from Los Altos High School to help spread more awareness to middle school and high school students in Los Altos. Furthermore, Project Revive plans on meeting with restaurant owners in Sunnyvale to limit the use of plastic straws.

“Project Revive was a project that I felt really impacted the students who were part of it. From learning about plastic pollution through various ways to improving public speaking skills to communicate with others, everyone got something positive out of the project. It really enriched the FBLA experience this year and made it even more enjoyable and worthwhile.”

- Rohan Zamvar, Project Revive Member

Research Into School and Community Needs During the summer of 2017, the project chairs, Abigail Shamelashvili and Shelby Jennett brainstormed potential project focuses for the 2017-2018 school year by researching community needs and meeting with community leaders. After consulting with other officers and advisers, Project Revive narrowed their choices down to the following 3 project focuses:

Project Focus Contact Advantages Disadvantages

Plastic Pollution Educate community members about plastic pollution and methods to reduce plastic usage.

Jacqueline Davison Environmental Outreach Coordinator of the City of Sunnyvale

-By volunteering at clean-ups and educating community members, Project Revive would be able to reduce the amount of plastic in the Bay Area.

-Would not be able to use school resources, such as, facilities -Timing of events (ex. Most volunteering events are in April, but meetings end earlier)

Nutrition Promote healthy lifestyles by spreading awareness and providing nutritious diets to families in poverty.

Bernadette White Community Relations Coordinator of the Second Harvest Food Bank in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties

-Children who experience poverty are more likely to go through hunger and food security can have a life-long effects in education and health - Large potential impact at food donation drives and volunteer events

- Limited number of impactful events -Annual canned food drive already hosted at Homestead

Disaster Relief Relieve citizens in disaster-hit regions through volunteering and donations.

The American National Red Cross

-Largest ever recorded wildfires in Los Angeles -225 people killed in Mexico earthquake - By donating earthquake kits, Project Revive could help relieve citizens in need

-No specific contacts at Red Cross - Difficult to organize drives at school due to regulations

Further Research about Plastic Pollution “Since the 1950s, plastic production worldwide has exploded from about 2 million tons to a whopping 440 million tons in 2015.” 1 The Bay Area, home of many corporations such as Apple and Google, creates a surge of innovation in the community. However, these businesses contribute to the never-ending cycle of pollution in the Bay Area. Plastic is a popular material due to its lasting properties that can take over 500 years to decompose, making it extremely harmful to the environment. Every year, hundreds of thousands of animals die due to the toxicity of plastic. Not only does plastic contaminate the bay and wildlife, but it also works its way up the food chain, binding chemicals in the water and posing a potential health risks to people eating fish caught in the bay.2 Recycling does not prevent this problem; one of the only ways to solve this issue is to reduce to usage of plastic. Execution of Research In late August, Project Revive conducted a survey asking members to rate their skill levels in areas such as public speaking, graphics design, professionalism and much more. The results of the survey showed that 47% of the members wanted to improve on public speaking and leadership skills, 38% wanted to develop their marketing skills, and 15% wanted to improve on their graphic design skills. With this data, the project chairs could tailor the project’s curriculum and plan impactful events throughout the years. This information was then utilized to finalize interesting ideas for the year. This included having interactive events, such as, the recycling drive to, not only create an impact in the community, but to also make sure the members were improving on each part of their skills.

Evaluation of Research To determine the final project focus, the Project Revive officers frequently met with their chapter advisers Helen Carlson, Graeme Logie, and Byron Lee. These meetings involved brainstorming activities for each potential focus and the potential impact on the community throughout the year. Based on the discussions, results from the survey, and strengths and weaknesses from each idea, Project Revive chose a focus that would allow for the greatest impact in the community.

In order to further develop Project Revive, the project chairs met with various community leaders, advisors, and Homestead faculty to plan activities that would result in maximum impact. Additionally, the chairs participated in an officer retreat over the summer where the project chairs spent hours planning the year with other officers and advisers, picking a focus that not only is relevant, but can have a great impact in the community. After this, Project Revive met school administrators to see how the project could implement its focus into the school. Through having several meetings, the Project quickly realized that the school’s facilities were limited for student usage and that it would be more beneficial to contact other professionals. This led to meeting Jacqueline Davison, the Environmental Outreach Coordinator of the City of Sunnyvale, who has helped the project throughout the year and Mai Blasich, the Head of Marketing at Sports Basement of Sunnyvale, who generously provided the space for the Recycling Drive and the STRAWS Movie Night. Through brainstorming and meeting with professionals, the project started to unfold. Glenn Hendricks: Mayor of Sunnyvale In the summer, the project chairs met with Sunnyvale mayor Glenn Hendricks and strategized ways to meaningfully impact the community. Mayor Hendricks also provided insight into vital regions of the community and provided the project chairs with contacts of Sunnyvale’s Environmental Staff members. Lastly, the project chairs and the Mayor also brainstormed events for the school year that would educate community members and provide them with hands on experiences.

Jacqueline Davison: Environmental Outreach Coordinator in Sunnyvale The project chairs met with Jacqueline Davison weekly to brainstorm ways to spread awareness about plastic pollution to local and community members. The project chairs discussed events such as on-campus cleanups, creating murals on storm drains and trash bins, implementing reusable bamboo utensils in the cafeteria, and holding a recycling drive in order to directly impact Homestead High School. In addition, they also planned potential activities for members to learn about plastic pollution such as designing flyers to promote the recycling drive and learning to create an elevator pitch for outreach events.

Project revive

“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and commend you and your team members on your project to combat plastic pollution by spreading awareness in the community through door-to-door events, a recycling drive, and educating younger generations on the importance of this issue by presenting to local middle schools. I am certain that your project is an asset to our community.”

Helen Carlson: Homestead FBLA Advisor During the summer, the project chairs went on an officer and advisor retreat where they received extensive feedback, advice, and unique ideas from each officer about Project Revive’s potential project focuses. Moreover, they held monthly meetings with Helen Carlson, Project Revive’s advisor, who gave valuable opinions regarding outreach events and project meetings throughout the year. Sara Frausto: ASB Activities Director Project Revive met with Sara Frausto, the Associated Student Body (ASB) Activities Director at Homestead High School, and analyzed several fundraising strategies that could be held campus wide. One of the many ideas discussed included selling reusable water bottles at Homestead sports games in order to promote multi use water bottles. Through meeting with Sara Frausto, Project Revive was able to gather more information on the needs of Homestead High School, and ways in which they could spread awareness along with educating the Homestead community. Mai Blasich: Head of Marketing at Sports Basement in Sunnyvale During December, the project met with Mai Blasich, the head of marketing at Sports Basement of Sunnyvale, and discussed the ways Project Revive could spread awareness and make an impact in the community through partnering with Sports Basement. While meeting, Project Revive collaborated with Mai on the logistics for holding the Recycling Drive. They also deliberated on the Movie Night which included a tour of the space the project would use for the event. Through this meeting, the project gained insight and feedback in order to achieve success in both events. Advisor and Mentor Meetings Furthermore, the project chairs had monthly meetings with their advisor to check-in and update her on their next steps for the project. Due to the advisor’s extensive experience, the project chairs were able to receive ample feedback which they, in turn, used to improve and grow their project. The project chairs also met with the officer team every Monday to discuss key events, along with planning upcoming events. Additionally, the project chairs met with Jacqueline Davison every Wednesday, who also aided them in planning events through the year by diligently working with the project chairs to plan events, reach out to contacts, and achieve sponsorships.

Weekly Project Meetings Every Friday, starting from September 29th, the project chairs led weekly 30-minute project meetings where a total of 60 members engaged in educational activities that tested their knowledge and helped them improve on their professional skills. In the beginning of the year, the activities ranged from simple icebreakers to more informative elevator pitches and research. The members worked on flyers to improve on their graphic design skills for the Marketing Event, Recycling Drive, and Straws Movie Night. Later in the year, the meetings consisted of presentations about plastic pollution for members to improve on their public speaking skills and documentaries to educate the members on this critical problem.

Reusable Bags Project Revive contacted several business and received a $1,500 sponsorship from Juniper Networks to create 400 reusable bags. The reusable bags that Project Revive designed also includes a flier with ways for people to reduce plastic usage in their daily lives. The project has already distributed over 350 reusable bags during outreach events and will continue to promote them. Project Revive aims to reduce the use of plastic bags in the community through holding more community wide events.

Community Wide Marketing Event On December 9th, the Project Revive passed out flyers to advertise the Recycling Drive to the community. In preparation for the event, members prepared elevator pitches at workshops to promote the Recycling Drive when distributing flyers. In addition, Project Revive members designed the flyers that were printed and distributed to over 150 households.

Recycling Drive On December 12th, the Project went to Sports Basement, a local outdoor sporting good store, to plan the logistics of the drive such as the location of a collection booth. On December 16th, ten project members volunteered at the Recycling Drive. The members interacted with the community by discussing the issues of plastic pollution and small lifestyle changes community members could partake in. Project Revive was able to collect over 118 pounds of recyclable items, ranging from plastic bottles to electronic waste such as, laptops and keyboards.

Middle School Presentation Project Revive visited Cupertino Middle School on January 31st to spread awareness of their project focus. Members were first given a short presentation on plastic pollution, which included statistics on plastic pollution in the San Francisco Bay and the effects plastic has on wildlife. To reinforce this, the middle schoolers participated in an interactive quizzing game, Kahoot, that tested the students on their knowledge of plastic pollution. During the activity, questions such as the cycle of a plastic bottle were asked.

Pseudo Bay Workshop In order to reach out to more middle school students, Project Revive held two workshops during Pseudo Bay, a competitive conference between large middle level chapters in the Bay Area. The workshop focused on educating students about the unhealthy usage of plastics as well the importance of doing their part in order to reduce plastic waste. STRAWS Movie Night at Sports Basement On December 7th, project members met with Ms. Blasich to plan the event and select a screening venue, ultimately using Sport Basement’s screening room. On February 9th, Project Revive held a screening of the award winning documentary STRAWS at Sports Basement open to the whole community. The documentary features an environmental activist group called Leatherback Trust along as well as young researchers aiming to reduce the use of plastic straws. This documentary showed community members the impact they could make through using reusable straws and influencing others to do the same. In addition to the documentary, guest speaker Sandra Curtis, a Director of Innovative Projects and close friend of the director, spoke about her passion for decreasing plastic pollution and suggested alternatives to disposable plastic items. This event motivated community members to reform their daily use of plastic and make change in the environment. STRAWS Viewing at Juniper Networks and Sunnyvale Public Library Along with the viewing at Sports Basement, Project Revive will be showed the documentary STRAWS at Juniper Networks on April 18th, the computer-networking company that sponsored the reusable bags and movie rights for the project and April 22nd at the Sunnyvale Public Library. Both of these events exhibited educating working professionals and community members on plastic pollution and how they can make a change in their everyday life.

Green Week at Homestead High School On the week of April 21st, Project Revive participated in the annual Green Week at Homestead High School, a week where student leaders spread awareness about improving the environment through various activities and presentations. The spirited week included festivities for the student body to learn about the environment and plastic pollution in an interactive, hands-on way, such as, spreading awareness through poster making, making smoothies out of energy efficient bikes, and passing out over 350 of Project Revive’s reusable bags to the entire teacher and student body. The week was led by Project Revive along with Key Club and Green Ops, the other two environmental clubs at Homestead High School, to create maximum impact.

Green Fair in Sunnyvale The annual fair was held on April 22nd, Earth Day. During this

event, members were stationed at a booth where they shared their experience of being in Project Revive, interacted with community members, and discussed ways our citizens can help stop the epidemic of plastic usage. In addition to the discussions, Project Revive had a guessing game where community members could guess the amount of plastic bottles in a clear container to win a free reusable bag that project members created. Furthermore, at 3:00 p.m., Project Revive hosted a third screening of STRAWS in the Sunnyvale Public Library where over 50 citizens viewed STRAWS, hoping to improve their usage of plastic. Kim Jelfs, one community member that came out to the viewing expressed that, “It was exactly the incentive I needed to persuade my family to start using metal straws. They now take them to fast food places, along with their own plates.”

Local Community Project Revive members distributed flyers to over 150 households, which promoted the recycling drive. In turn, the project not only educated 150 households locally but also reduced the amount of plastic that would be thrown away in the community. The project’s liaison, Jacqueline Davison, also assisted in promoting Project Revive’s events on Nextdoor, a local app that connects community members with local events, which were viewed by over 200 community members. Middle Schoolers This project was able to reach out to the younger generation and teach them how by changing their recycling habits, they are able to make a significant impact in the world. Project Revive went to Cupertino Middle School where they educated 70 middle schoolers. The students learned about potential careers that could help reduce pollution in the environment, such as an environmentalist activist. Additionally, they were educated on the effects of plastic in the community and the simple steps they could take in order to reduce the use of plastic in their daily lives.

Project Members Project Revive conducted a mid-year survey of over 60 high school members to gather information on the skills in which the members improved on. It was found that over 80% better developed their design skills through creating storm drain, trash bins, and mural designs that would spread awareness about plastic pollution. Over 45% of the members said that they improved on marketing through advertising the Movie Night and Recycling Drive to community members. Many even claimed that they improved on business outreach and public speaking through learning to create elevator pitches and contacting other organizations partner with Project Revive. Overall, the members were able to improve a majority of the skills they initially wanted to develop or gain. Businesses Project Revive worked with two businesses throughout the year, including Sports Basement and Juniper Networks. The 400 reusable bags were purchased using $1500 that Juniper Networks donated to the project. Project Revive also partnered with Sports Basement to hold two large scale events: the Recycling Drive and the Movie Night. During these events, members volunteered and interacted with community members by sharing their experiences of being a part of Project Revive.

“My favorite part about this project was designing the murals and learning how to create elevator pitches, which helped us raise awareness about plastic pollution. This project has helped me develop my public speaking skills and professionalism.”

Recommendations for Change Throughout the development of Project Revive, evaluation and feedback from project members was collected through periodical surveys. Among comments made about the scheduling of events, most project members agreed on expanding volunteering opportunities beyond community clean-ups. Students would have liked more frequent volunteering events in different locations. Another area of improvement encountered during the project was proposing to the school district about painting murals on trash cans to encourage recycling. At the time of the proposal, the council could not find any schools willing to partner with Project Revive members to paint murals, and ultimately the project failed to create these murals. Lastly, the project faced challenges in coordinating with other Homestead clubs as these organizations had already planned major events before the partnership with Project Revive. To improve, the project would have began communicating with outside clubs at the beginning of the school year and chosen event dates earlier in the project to ensure larger member attendance.
