Orleans Elementary School: June 20th
Thanks to OES for inviting us to speak about "Being Green This Summer." What a great welcome we received and what an enthusiastic bunch of junior environmentalists too! The school just spent the month of June focusing on ways they can be more eco-friendly. They sure knew their stuff. Look at the awesome sign they made for me!
