I have collaborated with my county&#39;s Conservation District to make this ground breaking event happen. Saturday April 19th is their Annual Spring Tree Sale Pick up date, which also happens to be the weekend before Earth Day. We decided to work together and take advantage of the near 500 Oakland County residents that will be picking up their trees and spread the green message.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/62387">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/62387#comments Arbor Day earth day education Education &amp; Environment green living 42.747677 -83.522830 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:47:06 -0500 newmanc5 62387 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/42159 <p><p>MISSION STATEMENT:<br /> We are committed that Seattle students will develop their own understanding of food and energy through direct experience with the community.<br /> DINNER:<br /> In Seattle on January 12th 2008, local communities of educators, builders, chefs, legislators and students will gather to discuss the future of environmental education in Seattle highschools. </p> <p>Our goal is to discuss what is already in place and what people are doing that works and apply that to the future of education.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/42159">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/42159#comments community community action community service conservation Ecology education Education &amp; Environment energy conservation fine dining food green architecture green educatio green living local foods public schools restaurants sustainability sustainability education 47.611570 -122.304060 Tue, 04 Dec 2007 15:08:54 -0600 diningforeducation 42159 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/41774 <p><p>With the help of my college professor, I established the first commercial green roof in the state of Nebraska!
