Pinwheel Craziness (:

Hi Blogger, It's Been A Long Time

So apparently I'm not very good at blogging considering I've got only 2 posts this semester. But on the up side at least I actually have stuff to blog about on this one (:

Here's my update on the garden. It's looking awesome! The plants are so huge, my only issue is planning a dinner that I want to do. I honestly don't have time to do it, nor plan it. So we'll see what happens there. Meanwhile peppers, cabbage, peas, and such are ready to be stolen for anyone who wants them, just don't steal the entire plant please.... But either way it is looking great. It took us about 2 hours to weed considering we hadn't done it in 6 weeks and we had a lack of tools, I think we did alright. 

Besides the garden, Naturally has kinda been going on the wayside lately due to the excessive amount of studying and college apps I have been working on for the past few months. Although the wing reps are doing a very nice job of recycling besides the cardboard that belongs outside not in the paper bin.

Eco rep wise, I think things are going pretty alright. I got some posters up on the recycle bins and some flyers with what's recyclable handed out. Tabling at West also went alright. It was kinda quite and I was dangerously close to getting nailed by a ping pong ball, but we ended up chatting and making pinwheels. Speaking of pinwheels, the Campus's Beyond Coal pinwheel event out on the campus green ended up looking awesome! The goal was to spread the idea about getting UNT on 100% renewable energy sometime within 10ish years. As of right now, UNT has not yet made the agreement, but 3 windmills were okayed for the new stadium. On November 11th, the same day the pinwheels were displayed, the board of reagents decided on taking the over $2 million grant to build windmills that will eventually power much of the stadium and athletic center. 

Thank you to all the McConnell people who helped make pinwheels at the Hope meeting and my wing meeting. The pinwheels looked awesome on the campus green. I would upload a picture by I just deactivated my phone and forgot to upload before. 

The next thing I'm planning on doing is probably putting boxes at the end of every wing to recycle plastic bags. These bags will be taken to people who knit or crochet them in to blankets for the homeless.  So look out for those soon. (:

And that's my life as an eco rep for the many weeks that I have not written.
