Students across several high schools in Springfield shared what they think would make their city more sustainable. This includes adding solar panels to more buildings and sharing why green energy is so important.
Many say researching the work now has potential to make a change in the future.
'Our project is to implement a sustainability policy into the Springfield Public Schools District,' said Makaila Tete-Donkor, student at Springfield Renaissance School 'We are taking inspiration from the Denver Public Schools District.'
According to experts, the scientific temperature best for students and staff to learn in is 72 degrees.
Students said they're inspired by their classmates to get creative and make a change sooner than later in the communities they live in.
