Tips to Save $ and the Earth-Tips to Be Green
This year, Georgia FBLA’s
state project is Dollar Sen$e!
The purpose of this project is

green chapter project will
involve active members to
spend an entire day to plant
flowers, trees, and paint murals

tural process and to give back
to the community-one tree at a
time.
