Amanda Huynh
This is my first time writing a biography about myself, so please be patient with me.
Hello, members of Greens News! My name is Amanda Huynh and I am currently a senior, attending San Lorenzo High School. I’ve started becoming interested in helping the earth, in the eleventh grade. Being a part of leadership during my sophomore year, I realized there are a lot of people who don’t even pay attention to how much paper they waste. One of those people was me. But I did not take any action upon my discovery. Once I became a junior, my sister persuaded me to join my school’s environmental club, D.R.U.I.D.S. From that point on, I became more involved in the environment. That’s a little information on how I became involved in helping our home, Earth.

| The
Green
The Green is a monthly online environmental
newspaper written by and for teens. The Green
provides a place where youth can voice their
thoughts, ideas, and beliefs about the environment
and have them seen by other youth and adults
in the Bay Area and across the nation.
What We’re Looking
For
The Green welcomes all types of writing and
artwork. Poetry, creative writing, editorials,
book reviews, rants & raves, photos, drawings,
comic strips, anything environmentally-related
that you’d like to share. You don’t
need to be an expert, you just need to be willing
to share your knowledge and opinions.
Getting Started
You can get started by browsing through the
current issue of The Green by using the links
on this page. Then, if you feel ready, dive
right in and start submitting your own work!!
The Green News Team
You can receive a small monetary reward at the
end of the year by becoming part of The Green
Team and agreeing to submit on a monthly or
bi-monthly basis. Or, if you would rather just
submit something every once-in-a-while, we welcome
that as well. Either way, click on the Contact
Us link to get in contact with us.
For Teachers
Teachers, take a look at the For Teachers link
for ideas on how to incorporate The Green into
your lesson plans. Use The Green to energize
a writing or photography assignment, encourage
students to publish their work, expose students
to other youth writings, and to incorporate
technology into your curriculum.
