April, 26 Today we got the results of our recent entry in the Santa Cruz earth day poster contest of 36 contestants we placed 5th. We are also creating a second poster for our schools' local Summit For Planet event. We are using the event to raise awareness for our group and cause. This week we also started an Instagram where we will post pictures and status updates.

It's a sunny spring afternoon while I write this post. The sunlight streams down on the redwood trees in the forest and the grass of the fields. A breeze wafts through the air carrying the scents of the wild, flowers and pine. Inside our classroom the other members of the Enviromental Justice Club are gathered around the half-finished poster. It's a chaos that comes of creative minds or at least thats what I'm saying to justify the mess all over the table. Paperclips strewn all around mixing with cut pieces of trash, dirty brushes, sharpies and paint. In the center a baby blue bike is painted on paper with straw wheels pinwheeling in the small breeze. Some just got back after doing the trash pickup, laughing their heads off over god knows what. The Enviromental Club
Earth day is coming up quickly and we as a club are planning on entering a poster in the Santa Cruz's earth day festival.

Our poster will about bik ing instead of driving, giving small statistics on the side on the way driving vs. biking when you can helps the environment. We are planning to make and enter it into the earth day festival's poster contest. We will spend the next 2 weeks working on our poster, so we are ready to enter it on April 21st. YAY!!!
