January

The month of January was a very productive month for Green Girls. We held
multiple planning meetings and decided that our next activity was going to be taking a
tour of the power plant. We are so excited to be able to go on a guided tour and learn
about the energy usage of Vanderbilt. From this, we are hoping to find ways to help the
whole Vanderbilt community become more green. Our event will be taking place on
February 23 and for the next few weeks our efforts will be focused on publicizing the
tour. We will do this by emailing and posting flyers (printed on recycled paper of course!
) We are hopeful that many of our peers and friends will be interested in attending this
event and are able to learn a lot from it.
In addition, water conservation has continued to be a main focus for our group.
We all have pledged to take shorter showers and have purchased reusable bottles, and
encouraged our friends to do the same.
Thus far, Green Girls has been a very successful project for all of us. We all have
continued to work well together and provide suggestions to keep improving Green Girls
as the year goes on.
