Day Seven

Hey Everyone!

Yesterday was an average day of school, except for the rising stress level of the senior class. I started the day by walking to Browning for a switchday meeting, which was productive,but ran over. Since it was already 7:52 and I was only in the 60's, I ended up running up Madison to make it to school for my first period class. Surprisingly this was a rather nice to start my morning with a little exercise. I had school all day and walked home with Ilana. Last night I took a long nap when I got home and later baked cornbread out of local ingredients with my mother.

I am pleasantly surprised by the number of my classmates who have added some green practices to their day to day lives. A large number of my classmates now walk home from school and one even takes the stairs at her house. I am really proud of them for adding these good habits to their routines.

My earth club is planning a boycott of (the former Yura) On Madison, for one day during our earth week. This is to encourage them to adopt greener practices. I'll post more details about this event when the date approaches.

I am still searching for restaurants who use a large percentage of local foods in their menus, please let me know if you know of any. Today (February 27th) there was an article in the New York Times about a New York city store with local frozen yogurt (OKO), a green alternative to the ever so popular, pink berry. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/27/dining/27yogurt.html?_r=1&ref=dining&oref=slogin Please check it out!

More later.
