General Announcements
Tomorrow is our Spring Assembly so we will be on an Assembly schedule. The Assembly should be great fun with our Pie in the Face, Guy Cheers, Tom boys, Color Guard and celebration of our spring sports and activities.
Cars and light trucks emit 20 percent of the nations CO2 pollution. The U.S. transportation sector, as a whole, is responsible for almost 9 percent of the world’s total CO2 emissions…in other words, the U.S. is responsible for more green house gas pollution than South America, Africa, the Middle East, Japan and Asia all put together. Carpooling for longer trips, or riding a bike, skateboard, or walking for shorter trips will drastically cut these emissions down and slow, maybe even stop global climate change. The next time a bunch of your friends want to go to the movies, have the person with the most seats (with seatbelts) in his/her car pick up everyone instead of having a bunch of cars drive there individually. The emissions from the driving of the one car are slight in comparison to all of the cars.
