A. I haven't really heard much about graduation projects at school. I know that the seniors are always running around last minute trying to get them done and that they are one of the final deciding factors on if you graduate or not. I know people that have graduated but none of them have finished their grad projects and if they have they are putting quite an effort forth to forgetting that period of their life ever happened. They were part of the group that could not keep up and were rushing around last minute trying to finish everything.

B. I have an idea of what I want to do already which would be to create a program in the summer in which people come from all over the U.S. for an undetermined amount of time and learn some green tips to reduce their carbon footprint in everyday life. Since that obviously would not be enough to fill a whole curriculum by itself I would like to get the chance to have the students go out and do some conservation work in the field. It would help improve Pittsburgh environment, get people out of the house, help address global warming in a small way, and let people meet new people that share similar interests.

C. Some concerns about my graduation project is the cost of it all because I don't want this to cost anything to the participants and the legal aspect of having people join in a program. Not to mention who would teach the students, where they would stay, and if anyone would come.
