ENVIRONMENT WEEK

This week, the East View Student Council and Environmental Club have joined forces to bring you the first ever “Environment Week.” We are encouraging EV to go green and conserve energy! Did you know refrigerators in the U.S. consume about the same energy as 25 large power plants produce each year. If you have pledged to go green share your pics on social media and use the hash tag “EV GO GREEN” to show us how you go green. Also, you can still pledge to go green during lunch and take some leaves from the advice tree in the main hallway. Thank you to everyone that has participated this week. The Environmental Club and Student Council encourage everyone to find ways to save energy every day. If we all do our part, our world will be healthier, brighter, and GREEN. We also encourage everyone to continue to use the hashtag “EV GO GREEN” to show our community how East View is going green.
