Day 1 of Earthweek was a grand success (:
The Kick-off assembly was quite eye-opening & hopefully, the start to behavior changing and habit breaking!
The garden planting that went on today was also amazing thanks to Ms. Pero and her fantastic knowledge of gardening (:
It really was something else..
Gardening is a bit like adopting a puppy or sending food to a third world country.
Holding the plant in your hand and carefully planting it with love and care, you realize that you really are holding a life, a life that you are now responsible for.
And strangely, you feel proud and fulfilled (:
GreenBCA is on its way to a plastic free school, and the Earthknights aluminum bottles are flying off the shelves so be sure to purchase them soon!
They will be sold in front of the commons for $5-$10!
Keep your eye out for more events & GET YOUR GREEN ON!
