The Stafford Intermediate School in Manahawkin recently welcomed members of the Garden Club of LBI, who posed thought-provoking environmental questions to the school’s Green Thumb Garden Club.

The students were asked if they would refuse a plastic straw in keeping with the New Jersey law. They then gathered in groups to the left if they would and to the right if they wouldn’t and in the center if they weren’t sure.

“It was encouraging to find the students very well-informed,” said Gillian Rozicer, club publicity director
