SKYPE VIDEO CHAT (not with Australians) – 4/2/09

On April 2, Thursday, last week Me (Nile), Rene, Thomas, Malcolm, Jonah, Milo, and Harry, video chatted with the Hodgkiss Boarding School in Connecticut which had a Sustainability Club. Their Sustainablity Club’s goal was to get their big school to do as much as possible that was sustain able for example, instead of using/selling plastic poland spring bottle in lunchrooms they promoted kids to go and get water bottle and bring them around the school. Additionally, they had an idea of instead of the schools using plastic bags to hold trash, they said to the kids to at least have a tote bag were you can put things like lunches or not greasy or leaky garbage. We told them about our ideas and our Teach In day and what we are going to do for that. Additionally, we exchanged websites and screenames, like they told use of this website called greenpuff.com where it can track the world pollution, and it gave me an I idea and it gave me another idea so I researched tracking population and I found that google has a population tracker in production, and will be available soon. The Website is http://www.google.org/powermeter/ For more websites on Googles’s mission visit, http://www.google.com/corporate/green/clean-energy.html
