"Time to put your money where your mouth is..."

We are trying to help out and here is what we have done in the past.

 

●  Recycling Drives

    Our campus does NOT recycle cans, bottles, or many paper products.  In an effort to encourage students to recycle, we regularly hold recycling drives in front of the Mountain Lair.  Lots of people stop by to hand off their recyclables.

●  Letter Writing

     Our political representatives need to know that people care about the environment.  Lots of letters are written from members of our group.  Occasionally we meet after the meetings, drink some brew and write some letters.

●  Outings

 Getting out and enjoying the outdoors allows us to experience Nature's beauty and human's footprint.

●  Petition Drives

     A lot people in Mo-town love music.  A lot of people in Mo-town also love the environment.  We join the two.
