Greenfire minutes  Thursday 8 January

Welcome back!

If you haven’t been to ecologyfund.com yet, go and sign up to save acres of forests. The next meeting will be at 8:30 in Ormsby lounge on Thursday.

The Wisconsin Conservation Team Network will be having a meeting on Tuesday at 6pm in the Appleton Public Library (near the bus station). If you are interested in going, it would be nice to RSVP Laura England at <lauraengland@tds.net> and meet at Ormsby at 5:40-ish to walk together.

We will be looking to take action against the Job Creation Act-keep in touch.

Taking care of campus:

People signed up to take care of specific dorms concerning batteries and recycling and little something green. Jobs include seeing which signs and which amounts are needed, picking up the batteries, watching the recycling bin labels,  and possibly speaking to the custodians about light bulbs and recycling habits. Those of you who signed up are…

Coleman: Laura                                      Sage: Emily and Matt

Ormsby: Steve and Evan                      Kohler: Bao and Alex

Trever: Meera and Rachel                    

**If you did or did not sign up for a job and want (don’t want) to, tell Steve. We need more people!!
