About 

Surface 71 is a student driven service and learning project aimed at raising public awareness as to the human impact on Earth's water resources by creating change through the refusal, reuse, reduction, and recycling of plastics to curb their effects on marine health and the environment.  The project, which was borne as an IB service and learning project at Conniston Middle School (West Palm Beach, Florida); is aptly named Surface 71, since 71% of Earth's surface is covered in water, a vital resource for our existence.
