This year's fun and informative event featured bargains on eco-products, free coffee, demonstration for classes, an eco sculpture project and a Healthy Bake Sale on Wednesday.
There were four great displays explaining the projects that the Super Green Eco Team is working on this year:
- A Roof Garden
- Researching Solar Panels
- Murals
- Composting
For the first time ever, Earth Week was open in the evening! On WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24TH Earth Week hosted the PS40 March PTA meeting. We invited some of the people with whom the SGET has teamed up:
Frances Anderson from a local Community Supported Agriculture organization
Henry from Tri State Bio-diesel
Phyllis Mangels from the Stuyvesant Square Alliance
We also asked a few of the super stars from the 2009-2010 Super Green Eco Team to talk about each of their projects.
More than half of the classes at PS40 (Kindergarten - 5th grade) reserved time to visit Earth Week. Each visit was hosted by one of the parent Eco Volunteers to teach the students about all the project the SGET is working on. Each class was asked to participate in the eco sculpture, in which each student was asked to write a wish for the earth on a strip of scrap paper, the decorate and add to the strands of loops hanging from the ceiling.
