Not-so recent happening

So I finally uploaded the pictures from the Environmental Center camera and I now have tons of news, musings and photos to share! I'm gonna start with a run-through of what we did this Fall that hasn't been covered in other blog posts.
The Bike Collective ran a weekly bike repair shop on campus and sold U-Locks!
























The Garden Produced a ton of veggies and ran a weekly Farmstand






We held an Environmental Center Open House and a Environmental Studies Open House:













and... We hired four awesome Sustianability Fellows: Morgan, Casey, Kyle and Leslie


--------------------
This spring we are working on bike parking, cooking and cheesemaking workshops, the Energy Challenge, S*T*A*R*S (a sustainability tracking system for the school) and the employees of the Environmental Center continue to hold rocking "Martys" (a meeting and party).

The Whole World in My Hand


"An EcoSphere is a completly enclosed glass sphere or pod, that houses a complete Eco system. Each sphere is filled with micro-organisms, bright red shrimp and algae and filtered sea water. All these things live harmonisly together in a clear glass ball of beauty. It's like having you own little world. Self contained and self sufficient."
Kind of like our world, except more harmonious and sustainable.
