(MCT) — PONTIAC — Even people in the United Nations care about what Pontiac Township High School students, known for starting a drug disposal program and raising endangered turtles, think about the environment.

About 240 science students from the school have been asked to submit their thoughts for the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. To get the project started, Wayne Talbot, an education consultant for the Volvo Adventure and U.N. Environment Programme, traveled from Cambridge, England, this week to mentor students.
