Welcome to Earth Week
April 16th, 2012 by Gaby
It’s Earth Week! It’s seriously our favorite week of the year because you get to wear green, think green, be green and spread the word about going green. This year could in fact be our best Earth Week to date. Why? Because we’ve come up with some new ways to help you rock 
Biggest Loser: Energy and get closer to winning that $1000 grant.

Earth Day is Coming
April 13th, 2012 by Gaby
Next week is a very special week for us. Why? We’re having a week – long celebration of the earth called… EARTH WEEK!
Culminating with Earth Day on April 22nd, we’re devoting this entire week to fun facts about the earth, the chance to win some pretty awesome prizes, tips and tricks about how to get ahead in our Biggest Loser: Energy competition and just general awesomeness.
Did you know that the very first Earth Day was held on March 21, 1969? A year after that US Senator Gaylord Nelson held another Earth Day as a teachen. That day stuck, and now it’s the day that’s recognized as Earth Day in over 175 countries.
To kick things off we walked around Oakland, CA and asked community members two questions: 1. When is Earth Day? and 2. What do you do to go green? Check out this video for their responses.

Eco-Warriors reflect on Earth Day victories
June 8th, 2011 by ACE Field Correspondent
By Hayley Mcguire, student at Reed High School
After winning the Sustainability competition for Reed High school, the Eco Warriors were invited to set up a booth at the annual Earth day Festival!! Bringing along our poster featuring our plans hand made by our club, we set out to inspire the Eco-Warrior ways.
Throughout the day we took shifts among our members. While a few stayed at the booth to present our plans to the local Eco-lovers the others would walk around from booth to booth searching for new ways that could possibly further the sustainability of our school. For example we found some possible choices for future solar panels that would really reduce energy, as well as many local programs that we announced to our school, getting students more involved in the environment.
After a very long day of Eco-love, we all piled back into Hector’s car and carpooled back to Sparks as an effort to reduce gas emissions. A perfect eco-warrior end to a perfect earth day!!! What a blast!! Can’t wait for next year. Have a great summer everyone!

Rosemead HS rocks four days of Earth-friendly fun
May 12th, 2011 by ACE Alumni
by Jacquelyn Duong, ACE Field Correspondent and student at Rosemead High School in Rosemead, CA
As an effort to spread environmental consciousness, the Ecology Club at Rosemead High School hosted an Eco Awareness Week. Each day focused on a different issue. Even those who aren’t in the Action Team were eligible to participate in our event! Despite some difficulties during the week, students persevered and proved themselves to be as environmentally friendly as possible.
Monday, April 18th was dedicated to paper waste, one of the most problematic issues in today’s world. We placed stickers on all the paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms on campus (at left Ecology Board member Howard Luu shows off one of our stickers on the back of his phone). These stickers caused students to become aware of how much they were actually using, thus promoting the conservation of paper towels – in fact each sticker can save up to 100 pounds of paper a year.
The issue for Tuesday, April 19th was plastic conservation. Each person who gave the Eco officers a plastic bottle would be entered in a raffle. The prizes were 4 BPA-free reusable bottles. We managed to fill about an entire bin with plastic bottles! The lucky winners were chosen at the following general meeting.
The most successful day was Wednesday, April 20th which focused on transportation…
