Vision for Staten Island

At the last meeting, Mr. Chieh handed out flyers for Vision for Staten Island. Here's the information for anyone who didn't get one or wants to spread the word. It looks like a great program, so try to get to at least one meeting and have your voice heard!

"Vision for Staten Island is a community initiative to bring together citizens and public and private leaders from throughout the borough to create an inclusive and comprehensive vision for the future. The vision will identify shared goals for all aspects of the Island’s life, and specific steps to implement each goal."

On another note, the holidays are almost upon us! In everyone's shopping and gift-wrapping frenzy, please remember to use recyled paper or reusable bags as wrapping. I like to save the cartoons from the newspaper and use that as wrapping paper. In Environmental Club this week, we're going to try to put together a "How to be Green for the Holidays" guide that we can post up here and e-mail out.
