A look back at what we've done

I have been doing an internship at an architectural firm for the past week, and in a conversation that my mentor and I were having about LEED, he proposed that I present the sustainability action of our school to the office at a staff meeting. This is the presentation I gave which includes the recent environmental activities done by different student-run organizations/groups at our school. I have included the Environment Club, Community Garden, Plan-It Earth, Student Sustainability Committee and Prime Earth. Ofcourse, I am not highly involved in all of these initiatives so I explained the ones that I have been less involved in while mentioning the names of the people behind those projects.
The community garden is the second initiative mentioned in this presentation, and I have included the timeline of the development of the garden with pictures that weren't posted online before. The audience that I presented this to was very impressed with our progress and some even asked me for more information on school gardens because they knew people who wanted to start one of their own. So it's important to be vocal about what we've done and get the word out. This is how we're going to get everyone involved in the sustainability movement.

I'd like to give a big thank-you to Ms. Susan Chung, Daichi Ishikawa and Hobson Lin for helping me gather some of the information I needed to make this presentation.

Take a look and be proud of how much we have accomplished since May 2009 as a team. Cheers!
