Meeting #1

Here's a quick summary of what went on during our meeting today! (September 15th 2009)

- Intro for our new members:
* What we have done in the past: Created note-pads out of recycled paper, made boxes for recycling to be put into class rooms, & we have sold reusable BPA free water bottles.

- Our goals:
* Elementary school program: educating younger grades about the environment with a powerpoint.
*Recycling program: make new boxes to replace those thrown out.
*New water bottles: we are looking to get metal water bottles with screw on tops, and make them available to ecology club members.
*Ban on water bottles: long term goal.
