Green
straws don’t make it to a
landfill or are recycled.
Looking at the future of
the planet, Fricton wanted
to make impactful chang
es in Dawson County and
began by officially
launching the Go Green
Club in March with the
selling of t-shirts she
designed.
And for those who pur
chased a shirt, they also
received a metal straw as
a free gift.
“I can’t tell you
how happy it
makes me seeing
some students
asking me ques
tions like how
they can change,”
Fricton said. “All
the hard work that
I put into it, it’s all
worth it.”
Fricton said her fellow
students were so recep
tive to the Go Green Club
that within three days, the
club had sold out of all its
shirts.
To date, the club has
sold more than 65 shirts.
Of course the club is
more than selling shirts.
It’s led by Fricton and a
small group of four
ambassadors that have
worked to bring about
environmentally friendly
change to the school sys
tem by eliminating the
use of Styrofoam district
wide.
“I made that decision
for the club and for that
to be one of our goals
because Styrofoam never
breaks down. It never
decomposes. It will be
created and will be here
until the end of time,”
Fricton said.
Fricton met with
Superintendent Damon
Gibbs to discuss the pos
sible options the district
could take to eliminate
the use of Styrofoam
cups, bowls and plates at
each of the schools.
This spring, Dawson
County Schools made the
switch from Styrofoam
products to biodegradable
natural paper products, all
products being the same
price.
“Same size, just better
for the environment and
better for our community
because the second it
meets that landfill it’ll
break down a lot faster,”
Fricton said.
With the club’s first
goal accomplished,
Fricton said they have
turned their attention to
putting recycling bins in
the high school with
hopes of putting
one in each class
room as well as in
the main common
areas like the
lunchroom, gym
nasium and stadi
um.
The club has
partnered with
Keep Dawson
County Beautiful in order
to bring recycling to the
school.
Fricton represents the
club on the Keep Dawson
County Beautiful board
as well as the North
Georgia Conservation
Coalition board in order
to bridge the school with
the larger community.
“We are so happy to
have Roxie and the Go
Green Club as a part of
the North Georgia
Conservation Coalition,”
Coalition cofounder Bette
Holland said. “Roxie is
an amazing young
woman who has a passion
for protecting our envi
ronment. She and the
other young people who
are working with her will
be the catalyst for the
‘older generation’ to
finally admit there is a
problem and it is time to
start working on fixing
it.”
With her senior year
quickly approaching,
Fricton is already work
ing on her goals for the
club next year which
includes removing plastic
utensils, creating an out
door lunchroom space for
students and bringing a
compost system to turn
food waste into compost
that can be used by the
agricultural classes.
“I just want my school
to be as ecofriendly as
possible,” Fricton said.
“Everything down to the
toilet paper we use, I
want it to be ecofriendly,
and I want our school and
community to set an
example for other com
munities.”
Fricton said she wants
the Go Green Club to be
a modern club that
appeals to her peers and
is more than an extracur
ricular to put in service
hours.
“It’s not your average
club that you’re just
going to for hours,”
Fricton said. “I want this
to be a club that they’re
passionate about and they
realize that they want to
go to this club and make
a difference.”
During her senior year,
Fricton will continue as
the club’s president while
also being a dual enroll
ment student. She also
hopes to take on a second
work-based learning
internship next year, hav
ing already interned at the
Dawson County News
during her 2019 spring
semester.
Fricton is also looking
ahead to the future of the
club once she attends col
lege to pursue a major in
Environmental Manage
ment and Economics and
a certificate in Sustain
ability Studies and Data
Analysis.
She plans to check in
from time to time and
help with the club howev
er she can.
“I think by building a
strong foundation and
connecting the communi
ty and connecting with
the students at my school
we’ve got a great bunch
there, and I think that
they’ll be able to handle it
afterwards,” Fricton said.
