earthweek-bannerI am looking forward to an eventful (although cold and rainy) earth day. I have canceled my classes today so my students and I can attend the variety of earth day panels and activities going on today on campus. I’ve posted the poster of the itinerary below in case anyone was curious what sort of things campuses are doing for earth day.

green-globe-hands-300x299Hi All,

Well, it was a heck of a unit, and there will definitely be changes if I decide to do a project like this again- but in the end- I’m happy with the results. So, happy Earth Week to you! PLEASE go check out my classes’ site:  http://engl100.wordpress.com/ I’ll post more on how it all came together as well as a short list of “best of” to check out on the site. This week there’s a flurry of activities and events on campus for Earth Week and I’m looking forward to attending as many as I can.

Then, I should really post our stumble list from our Easter/Cooper’s birthday celebration weekend. I suppose it should be changed to the *fell flat on our faces* list after that weekend….

cream1Some good news from Cadbury:

“Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate Bar Goes Fairtrade” (treehugger)

Unfortunately it appears that it’s only their milk chocolate bar that has gone fair trade so far. But I say: Go out and buy some Cadbury Eggs to help support their process of expanding to 100% fair trade.
