Tell your parents! Tell Congress you want real food at school!


There is a national campaign "to GIVE KIDS the SCHOOL FOOD THEY DESERVE" Do you know about this? Here is a link with more information and a petition that can be signed if you want to eat food that is better for you and for the environment. 


Clemson Architecture Students receive an international prize for the design of a SELF-SUFFICIENT CITY!


Some of you saw the project when you visited the Picture Green event at Clemson University. 

The students competed with 708 other people from 118 countries and received the fifth prize for their big idea to make our cities better! Their project is a recycling project, where everything is constantly recycled into something usable. Little pods for living and working move while collecting urban waste to turn it into materials that are usable in cities.  The city works like a perfect cycle!

What do you think SELF-SUFFICIENT means?
