2009 with SOSI


It is hard to believe that we are already full-swing into 2009.  Here at the Sustainable Oregon Schools Initiative we may not have many resolutions, but we do have big plans for the year.  You can expect 2009 to be a year of new topic area teams, wrapping up current ones, and moving forward with our Sustainability Management System pilot program.  

Personally, my resolutions are simple ones but I know that if I really accomplished these ideas (like producing more DIY crafts and making my own cleaning supplies, being more of a locavore, and driving my car less) I'd be on my way to reducing my carbon footprint.  I like the idea of "1 thing."  It is sponsored by the radio broadcasting company Entercom, but the concept behind it is that we can all do one small thing every day that together makes a big impact.  The general website is here and there is even a Portland-specific link.  While at the site, be sure to check out the link for schools.  

Topic for Discussion: 
What is your new year's resolution?  What is your resolution for your school/district?
