Career Day At ECHS by SZB

Monday November 17th was a busy day for Team Green Members, not only did we deliver a successful proposal getting many teachers and staff members on board with our film, we also got a chance to make first contact with the students, by coincidence it happened to be ECHS's Career Day. After having a introductory chat with Sal, not myself but the Director of the Consulting firm who was responsible for organizing the whole ching-ding or chen-dig, which ever one you prefer.

Anyways there were many organization on campus to appease the environmental appetites of these young conservation go-getters such as Body Glove, Heal the Bay, The Department of U.S. Forestry, Smokey the Bear included, and most prominently (I hope that's the right word) Planet Green's resident "Eco-MacGyver"Darren Moore, co-host of Altar-Eco, which aired last night. Last nights episode, Green Teens, showcased ECHS Green Ambassadors Program.

The episode mainly focused on Jordon, a young female ECHS student who is part of a group of 15 ECHS students on their way to Costa Rica for a week to learn about environmental sustainability. The idea is to bring the knowledge back and apply it here in the U.S.

Back to career day, overall the students appeared to be really interested and were not shy about inquiring about specific careers and organizations. Although I did not get the chance to talk in-depth with any of the students about their experiences at ECHS I was able to get a few photos and names of a few willing and able bodies who agreed to participate in our film. Some day I will learn how to upload the photos so you can check them out for yourselves.
