Last week kicked off with a wonderful documentary screening on Wed. that was very popular. It provided an exciting look into everyday American lives and how we are all affected by what we eat. It advocated for sustainable and ethical food practices. Hopefully this is something that Elle and I can futher as the year goes on.

Also began researching the implementation of green fees at other colleges.
Need to meet with Roberto to discuss how it will be implemented and setting up a meeting with one of the Boards and possibly President Rao.

SGA Master Plan for the Environment is next on the agenda.

Have a great week
