Write a proposal to the Student Council (or its equivalent) at your school or college,????cribing an innovative idea you have that you would like the council to implement. The idea may be one of the following

 A plan to clean up the neighborhood around the school or college. From time to time there have been complaints from residents on neighboring streets that the students drop gum and candy wrappers, looseleaf pages, cigarette packs and butts, and so on, as they walk to and from the local bus stop or their cars. The residents complain that the students' debris lowers the quality of the neighborhood and reduces house values. Suggest that the Student Council set up cleanup crews who will regularly (once a week?) search the neighboring streets for rubbish and collect it in large garbage bags. A key factor in your proposal is that the Student Council should send out a news release to the local media, to demonstrate that the College's/School's students are very conscious of the image they create and that they want to contribute actively to the neighborhood's environment. Be ready to counter remarks from the Student Council that the local residents contribute much of the garbage they are complaining about.
