2 September 2009 - Welcome back!

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to the new semester! We had a record number of 69 students attend our first ECO meeting of the school year! Keep bringing your friends and let everyone know about ECO! :)

The website is currently under construction... (again) as I am trying to set up the ECO 3.0 page. =D Be very excited. Hopefully everything will be up and running within a few weeks.

PS: the comment box was attacked by spambots with 20000 messages over the summer so that is also down temporarily. :(

Subject: ECO interest in speaker?
To: trumaneco@gmail.com

Dr. Amber Johnson of the Anthropology department asked me to send an
email to ECO-ites to find out if there was any interest in meeting with
a Sigma Xi speaker who's coming to talk about climate change. I think
it looks pretty cool, here's the link:

There's a window from about 2-4 P.M. on Thursday, April 16, where people can meet with him (in the anthropology lab, or the SUB, or wherever is convenient) to discuss
and share ideas about the environment and environmental studies. Thanks a lot!

**Also, if anyone has any questions or would like to meet with Prod. Alan Robock, please email Caroline Crecelius at crc549@truman.edu.

Also, Brett and Hannah sent out their powerpoint presentation for the Truman State University Sustainability Initiative. Check it out HERE!

Finally, if you are free tomorrow...

The second/final installment in the Community Environmentalism Seminar 
Series is coming soon!

Community Living: The CAFO Co-op Experience
A presentation on community living at the Missouri Department of 
Conservation

Thursday, April 9th at 7:00 P.M.
Missouri Department of Conservation Building, 3500 S. Baltimore

Abstract: "Last fall, eight Truman State University students united 
under the roof of a single house in an effort to achieve a more 
socially and environmentally sustainable way of life. We will share how 
principles of consensus, community support, egalitarianism, and open 
communication have been essential to maintaining a social well-being 
within our dynamic cooperative living situation, and delve into the 
practices and projects that have been part of our movement toward a 
lower-impact lifestyle."

Bring your friends!

 20 February 2009 - Street Team went to  Brashear Elementary!

    Street Team went to Brashear Elementary and worked with k-5 children.  The children played a "Where Things Come 
From" game, and learned about where items like glass, aluminum, and 
electricity come from and go after being used.  The children also 
painted glass bottles, turning them into decorations, vases, or 
anything else they wanted.
