It's been a long time since we last met, between snowstorms and break, so let's recap what we were working on last time.
More recycling bins won't help the situation in school unless people know how to use the bins and the system effectively. To solve this problem, the Environmental Club is proposing an information session in the auditorium after school one day soon. Service credit will be offered for any who wish to attend.
Among the activities we hope to have are REUSE Bingo, Earth-Friendly Jeopardy, guest speakers from the NYC Department of Sanitation, and some videos and powerpoints.
I also suggest that club members (or anyone else, for that matter) write letters to the editor of the Insider about the recycling program we have here at school and how to utilize it properly.
I'd also like to just bring to everyone's attention the "One Million Acts of Green." This Canada-based program is a fun way to record your own ways of helping the Earth. Everytime you do an "act of green," you record it on the website and it gets added to the overall total. Check it out at http://green.cbc.ca/
