Why Recycle?

Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 2 barrels of oil (enough to run the average car for 1,260 miles), 4,100 kilowatts of energy (enough power for the average home for 6 months), 3.2 cubic yards of landfill space, and 60 pounds of air pollution.

Our Leaders for the this Year...

Congratulations to Briare B. and Mecca J.! They are our new Green Team leaders for the year.

Welcome Back Green Team!

This year is going to be a great year for the Green Team. We have some new and exciting things going on. Like...

• Beach Sweep on 9/27. We will meet @ Johnny Mercer's Pier @ 9 am
• Guest speakers from our community regarding the environment.
• The school is getting new recycling bins so we won't have to walk them all the way down the street and mess up Mr. Preiss's truck anymore :)
• School Projects to raise environmental awareness.
• Working with the new butterfly house @ Airlie Gardens.

I hope you are as excited as I am. We welcome any ideas or thoughts so post them in the comment section!

Multi-Axis Trainer

Here is a short clip of what it looks like when you're in the trainer. It is designed not to make you dizzy or sick because it does not change your body's equilibrium or center of gravity. However, it did something to me because I got siiiiiiccccckkk.

As I said before, astronauts no longer use this in training because there is no tumbling when coming back into the Earth's atmosphere. There used to be a joystick in the center where the astronauts tried to gain control of the spinning and smooth out the ride.

Pilot of the Alpha Mission

Today is our mission for the Endeavor and the pilot is yours truly :)

We will simulate a mission to the moon and there are so many people that it takes to make a mission complete.

Further discussion about the mission and everyone's roles after we've completed it. Look for me up in the sky!!!

Question for the prize:

Who is my superior in the orbiter for this mission. Hint: They sit right beside me.

And the winner is....SAM T!!!!

Sam,

Congratulations on being the first person to answer the question correctly.

Who was the first person to walk in space?

Alexei Leonov (a russian)

You'll receive a 'space treat' when I get back home.
