中美薩爾瓦多地球拯救者俱樂部

薩爾瓦多國際學校的地球拯救者俱樂部小組，開始了一個全校性的活動--回收紙張、塑膠以及鋁製品。這個小組經由小劇場，指導志同道合的同學們，有關回收的重要性；同時他們還舉辦了一個用回收資源做船來比賽的活動。每一周，地球拯救者們會和各年級的代表一起做資源回收。這是小組第二年作這個活動了，他們在2005-2006學年的目標是繼續教育同學們，有關回收的重要。

The Earth Savers Club at Colegio International in EL Salvador initiated a school-wide program to recycle paper, plastic and aluminum. The group educated fellow students about the importance of recycling by performing small drama skits; they also sponsored a recycled-boat race. They held bake sales to buy the recycling bins for the plastic and aluminum. Once a week the Earth Savers, with special representatives from each elementary grade, recycle the materials. The group is in their second year with this project; their goal for the 2005-2006 school years is to continue educating the students about the importance of recycling.

美國俄亥俄州托利多動物園青年小組

美國托利多動物園青年小組，在地鐵公園的橡樹林空地上，幫忙燒毀成堆的外來植物。這個小組在這幾個夏日的月份裡，觀測侵入至此地的植物的成長，並且拔除這個公園裡的外來種植物。他們燒掉了兩大堆，每堆高6英尺的外來植物，目的是為了創造一個適合當地野生動植物的生態走廊，以及還給遭受危害的Karner藍色蝴蝶一個空間。

The Toledo ZOOTeens helped perform a brush pile burn at the Oak Openings Metropark. During the summer months, this group monitors the growth of lupine plants and removes invasive plant species from this park. Two large piles of brush, each over 6 feet tall, were burned in order to create a corridor for native wildlife, including the federally endangered Karner blue butterfly.

美國紐約五條河根與芽小組

紐約五河的根與芽活動小組在五河環境教育中心裡，標示出一種具侵略性的蘆葦的位置。甚至此中心的員工們順便利用小組做出來的標示圖，判定有哪些地點的原生植物棲地被侵占了，並且有哪些地方能進行重點式清除的工作。根與芽小組成員計畫在接下來的月份，至少還要花兩天以上時間清除這些蘆葦。

Roots & Shoots at Five Rivers in New York mapped the locations of phragmites, an invasive grass, on the ground of the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. The Center's staff is using the group's map to determine where the grass is encroaching on native plant habitats and where the removal efforts should be focused. R&S members plan to devote at least two more days in the coming months to removing the phragmites.
