Courtyard Project and Recyling Week

abingtonecology — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:13:38 +0000

As of now, we have two projects in the works: the Courtyard Project and Recycling Week. The Courtyard Project, as you know, is an effort to rejuvenate the area behind the library and in between the science and interdis wings. The Latin classes recently planted in certain areas, but with our help it could be made even better. The Recyling Week is an initiative to get students to recycle more. More details for both activities can be seen after the jump.

The Courtyard Project has gone through several incarnations in an effort to find something possible to do. Unfortunately, painting a mural is almost impossible due to the red tape surrounding a project of that manner. As of now, our projects consists of two (highly doable) goals: plant attractive, native, low-maintenance plants in the area, and install clearly labeled plastic bottle and trash can receptacles in a highly visible manner. Because a project of this type requires much in the way of planning and meetings, all interested members should print out, complete, and return the following form to Ms. Brown (room 136) by January 25th: Courtyard Project Interest Form

Our second project, Recycling Week, is an effort to increase recycling at Abington Senior High School. Students would bring in clean cans and bottles, and collect them in one of their classrooms (probably social studies) over the course of a week. The winning class would receive some sort of a prize. Because this is a multi-faceted project that can potentially interest a variety of members, this will be our main project that will be worked on at the next meeting (January 29th). If anybody has any ideas for this project, feel free to leave a comment- I’m hoping that if we get enough endorsements/ideas, I can talk to the right people and we can begin doing direct work when we next meet.

Ecology Club Lives!

abingtonecology — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 23:29:49 +0000

As you may (or may not) have noticed, Ecology Club meetings have been somewhat scarce lately. This is due to a lack of potential meeting days (due to both faculty meetings and lack of time on my end) and the fact that not many people are interested in outdoor ecological activities in the winter. So, in an effort to keep things streamlined, I thought that moving much of the process online would be a good idea. With this, we can get the planning and other BS out of the way online, and use the meetings for activities to jump-start the club and perhaps get it moving again.

So please. Try to keep somewhat updated on this site as it will provide you with up-to-date information on the Ecology Club. You have several options with this. You could just bookmark this website and check in on it once a week or so, or you could subscribe to the RSS feed. I am currently looking into ways to send alerts to your email upon creating a new post and will have information for you on that shortly.

Keeping track of this website won’t take very long, is much more convenient than staying after school for a 10 minute meeting, and is a good way to stay updated on Ecology Club happenings. It will also be a nice way to keep things productive. I promise I’ll do my best to stay updated as long as I see indicators that this little club blogging experiment is producing results. If possible, leave a quick comment when you can- your input on club matters is always appreciated!
