Thanks to Cade Zawacki ’15 we were able to make a video for the Green Cup Challenge encouraging students to conserve energy! This video is not only used to create awareness of energy conservation among students at Williston, but it is also entered into the Green Cup Challenge’s Video Contest. Schools that are participating in the Green Cup Challenge are encouraged to submit a video into the competition. The best video is determined by votes. Click here to cast your vote for the video you think is best! Polls close on February 12th. If you want to view all the videos in the running for the contest, click here. Winning videos will get special recognition by the Green Cup Challenge website.
The Sustainable Life Club showed our video in assembly last Wednesday, and we received lots of positive feedback! Above you can view our video – we had lots of fun making it and showing it to the community! Enjoy!
For the last two weeks Sustainable life has been keeping track of the amount of energy each dorm has been using, and our first week results are in! Green Cup Challenge at Williston is not only a national competition with other schools to reduce the most energy, but also a competition between each dorm. The winner who reduces the most amount of energy by February 12th, will get a pizza party!

Weight of waste collected in the Dining Hall for each week!
This week’s Ort Report measurement is great! We recorded a total of 78.2 pounds of waste! Now that we have collected three weeks of results, we have put together a graph to represent each week’s recordings! We will be adding results to this graph each week! The trend line is already on a downward slope!
Even though the measurements are a good representation of how the school is doing in the Ort Report, the Sustainable Life Club hopes to focus on more than just the numbers. We hope to help students and faculty gain a greater understanding and knowledge of their impact on the environment! Encouraging you to think about your impact, we hope that this thoughtfulness will translate into other parts of your daily life!
Have you thought recently about your impact on the environment?
The Sustainable Life Club is building new initiatives to help students become more mindful of the environment.
