Adopt-A-Highway: September 24th |

The Environmental Council has adopted a stretch of road on Hwy 10 West, just a few miles past the river. At least three times per year between April and November, EC members head out to our highway and have a blast while cleaning up litter from alongside the road. This time, we found some interesting trash and a TON of snakes, as well as receiving friendly honks and thumbs ups from passing traffic. Click on a photo to enlarge the picture.

Each year, the Environmental Council sponsors a potluck dinner called Organic Food Night. The premise of this dinner is not just to have fun, but to have fun while comparing organic vs. processed foods. This year we also took a little field trip to the Steven's Point Co-op. Each person brings an organic dish and it's processed counterpart. Then, while we chow down, we get to compare flavor, texture, price, and overall quality of each dish. Sometimes we find that organic is SO much better. Other times we find ourselves completely unwilling to give up our processed foods. Which dish is which? You'll just have to try it! |

EC's third annual canoe trip was a spectacular hit. The day was sunny and warm and the river was clear. We were able to make the trip down the river in 5 hours, taking plenty of time to stop and enjoy lunch at our favorite picnic spot. We were also lucky enough to see a ton of wildlife! The trip was so much fun, EC is thinking of introducing it as a spring event as well. |
