The Save Planet Earth Club (SPEC) meet up once a week on their lunch break to discuss ideas and interact in fun environment-themed activities.

The club is for students in Years 3-6 and was created by a group of friends looking for fun and practical ways to protect the environment.

One of the girls in the club, Esther Milne, said if people were wondering what to do, that they should "start thinking of ways to help".

Another member of the group said that there wasn't one set way to help the environment, that all people can do was their best and that in the end even the smallest bit of sustainability helped the planet overall.

The group as a whole mentioned that they are really upset with the damage wrought on turtles and other sea life from consumption of plastic.

In response to this they have run and are organising events to pick up rubbish.

To that end, SPEC, along with some senior students from the college and deputy principal and director of student wellbeing Jay Trevasksis, took to the Bega Skate Park and Rec Ground last Friday for Schools Clean Up Australia Day.

Senior student at SCAC Paris Groenewoud decided she wanted to join the junior SPEC group to fill up bags of rubbish and support the environment.

"We heard the day was coming up and most high schools don't do much about it," Ms Groenewoud said.

"The environment is really important to me and I just thought SCAC could do something with it."

Another event SPEC was thinking of running in the future was a rubbish race.

The idea is that students form groups and are given one minute to collect as much rubbish as they can, with the winning group receiving a prize.
