Two major projects that we have decided to work on is creating a recycling facility/program and planning for Earth Day Week activities.
We have received word that maintenance has been throwing away recycles at the school when they used to store the recyclables until someone could take them to the recycling facilities in Farmington or Cortez. So, the DECO officers have decided that creating a program or planning for development of a recycling is one of the first priorities to tackle.
How you can help:
- research how other recycling programs work (maybe in Farmington or Cortez)
- where could we locate the program or facility?
- what should the program recycle?
- any federal/Navajo Nation policies we should know about?
We would also like to integrate ourselves into the community by hosting Earth Day activities. Some activities we would like to host are:
- Environmental terms defined presentation (hopefully at either skool or the chapter house)
- National Bioblitz participation (24 hour monitoring of a specific area to witness the effects of climate change with other national SEEDS chapter)
- presentations
- hang out with kids at skools
- have any ideas?
For other projects--we were also thinking of doing some research in Monument Valley in accordance with the uranium phytoremediation site
Possibly order SEEDS t-shirts for Earth Week
NEXT MEETING: Thursday, March 19, 2009 12 pm- 1 pm (Hopefully in large conference room w/out AISES)
