 Year-Round Jobs
• Ecology Club Writer ______________
Writes Affno articles/blog entries based on events held by the Ecology
Club, or current topics in ecology and environmental issues

• *School Neutral* _______________

Using a program derived by a carbon – credit company, this person will
calculate our school’s CO2 emissions and possibly garbage stream
reduction

• Composting Evaluation ______________

This person will use all the results from composting this year to present
in a graph or other educational format which will be posted at school

 Where We’re Headed
The Rest of the Year will be Relatively Open:
• Our first project: Research Projects for
Renewable Energy
• Later Projects: Research and Develop Plans for
Sustainable Schools (Ex: switch to partially-
recycled cups, expand recycling program)
• We will be open to fundraising to fund these
programs, or we can participate in green events/
green politics. The decision is up to you.
Everything above will be done in groups. After topics are chosen, I will
make a worksheet with an agenda so that groups require an
equivalent work load.
