Gardening, that's what's up.



It's October already?

So I'm pretty sure the past few weeks have been the craziest, meaning crazy busy, weeks ever. So sorry I haven't gotten anything written up in a long while.
Oh, but it is worth mentioning that I did successfully complete my week of under 10 minute showers (:
Anyway, a few weeks ago, we had our first Eco Rep meeting. So what do I do as an Eco Rep? Believe me, I didn't know before the meeting either. Basically, I spread sustainable ideas around campus  and around my hall. Sounds easy enough, yes? So if you see me tailgating this weekend under a go green or sitting at a table giving away free stuff, know that I am going to be promoting sustainability or something of that sort I'm sure. But for sure it was nice to meet new people and I do look forward to getting to know all the Eco Reps. (:
Meanwhile at McConnell, the garden is looking so good, thanks to those who helped pick the plants, make signs, plant, and water. The peppers are looking so good and so is the lettuce. I will for sure try to get the signs up soon since they are just sitting in my room. I'm thinking maybe I'll throw a dinner for Naturally members soon? I would hate for the veggies to go to waste.
The recycling is going so well too! When I checked the bins last week, they were super full so thanks guys (:

Well I think that's kinda everything I have to say. I've haven't been able to do much lately with all the tests and deadlines. But if  anyone has a service idea or sustainable program idea please please let me know, cause that's what I am here for. Hopefully I will have some coming up as soon as I get a chance to take a breather.
Thanks to everyone who have helped me get through this busy time. I will need you for the rest of the semester I am sure so don't go away.
