SPARE (Students Promoting Awareness of Recycling & the Environment) a small but motivated group of high schoolers at Branham High School are making BIG changes in San Jose and beyond.

Then: They sell those recycled goods to a company in China.

Next up... they hope to go solar in a few years and they continue with a campus water conservation audit that has already identified $14K in savings.

Branham High School humbly claims that they recycle more items than any other high school in America. Now there's a challenge for you!!
