Caddo Magnet's Greens Club was founded in the 1990s by retired biology teacher Mrs. Ruby Blackwell. Students interested in sustainability were involved in a variety of activities, from taking field trips to Sci-Port: Louisiana's Science Center to supporting local conservation and wildlife preservation projects in conjunction with Caddo Parish's Walter B. Jacobs Park. In 2013, Greens Club received a generous grant from a regional International Paper to greatly expand our school's recycling efforts and minimize landfill waste. Since then, we have facilitated the school's recycling and landscaping, and our club continues to grow every year. We meet on 1st club rotation in the gym and dues are $10. Greens Club is also a Project Green Schools chapter, and students must pay their fees and earn at least 20 environmental service hours each year in order to remain a member of good standing. Most of our members will easily earn well over that amount of service hours within one semester. 

Stay tuned as we share more info here to help educate, empower, and inspire you to make sustainable choices. Everyone can do something to minimize their waste, water consumption, or carbon footprint. Whether you start small or you go big, it's important for all of us to do our part. We have one amazing planet, and good planets are hard to find! Check out the Magnet Greens Instagram (@magnetgreens) to see service opportunities, upcoming campaigns and projects, photos, and more information on sustainable living!
