Earth Spirit Day

Hi all,
Just a reminder that Earth Spirit Day is tomorrow! I hope that all of you come to school wearing green or bring in something that says Earth to you. :)
Darcy, Hayley, Chloe, and Jennifer, please remember to bring in your green baked goods! (My cake is in the oven!)
Also, If any of you can help sell the leftover baked goods after school tomorrow, that would be really helpful!
Remember to keep an eye out tomorrow for people that you think have green spirit! (We should meet up during lunch for the first fifteen minutes to discuss who we think has the greenest spirit!)
Lastly, if you could all please make an effort to talk to people in your advisories and classes about the brochures that would be great! Mainly, I want people to know that they are located in a box in the big room, and that they should share the brochures with other people! If they don't want them, please tell them to return them back to the box, so that we don't end up with a lot of them being thrown away! Encourage your friends to have fun with this!

Thanks so much everyone for making this work! I hope that we have a great Earth Spirit Day!

Which Cities Will Be Completely Underwater In Less Than 100 Years?

This makes the term "rising sea levels" a lot more real. It looks like LA has less than 100 years while San Franscisco and lower Manhattan have less than 150 years. New Orleans and the rest of New York have about four centuries left before they're gone.

Green Films for Earth Day

What better way to start off Earth Day weekend than with a screening and discussion of the inspiring film Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time plus two short films,Walk in Beauty and Sacred Poison.

Bioneers and Santa Fe Independent Film Festival join forces for this special Earth Day Film Event. Join us for a screening of these three important films. 
Following the screening, a Q & A will feature Dave Steinke from the U.S. Forest Service in Denver and organizations currently working on these issues including Mariel Nanasi, Executive Director of New Energy Economy.

Screening and discussion of Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time, plus the short films Sacred Poison and Walk in Beauty: Clean Energy for a Changeable World.

 

State Land OfficeMorgan Hall    Friday, April 20th at 6:30pm 310 Old Santa Fe Trail $10 General, $8 Students  Cash or check only at the door

  

Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time is about legendary environmentalist Aldo Leopold and traces how he shaped and influenced the modern environmental movement.  Also in the film, ranchers in Arizona and New Mexico discuss cooperative community conservation efforts.  

The multiple-award winning Sacred Poison is a powerful witness to the health and lifestyle devastation Navajo families endure resulting from the lasting impacts of uranium mining in Grants, NM.  

The Bioneers Dreaming New Mexico program and New Energy Economy have jointly produced a short film, Walk in Beauty: Clean Energy for a Changeable World, that highlights the potential of clean energy on Navajo Nation in northwest New Mexico, which has been adversely affected by coal and uranium development over many decades.   

Thank you,
