Mounting Support for Green Change-Over at GHS

I had never really considered myself a true enviornmental "activist", so to speak, until about two weeks ago. When I heard about the company Green Planet Bottling that makes 100% plant water bottles I thought, why not replace plastic Poland Spring water bottles with these water bottles? I decided to write to our headmaster, Mr. Winters, and publicize my efforts through my story "" 

To date, I have made a lot of contacts and spread awarness for my initiative. Mr. Winters responded to my letter with a lot of enthusiam for the idea, but said that he did not have the power to make the change himself.

Mr. Winters then redirected me to Ms. Vicki Gregg, in the food services department for Greenwich High School. I handed her the proposal and was met again with some very excited feedback. She said she would call Green Planet Bottling as well as research other eco-friendly water bottle alternatives. 

and the Green Schools Committee have also reached out to me with wonderful insight and advice. 

The next step in this process is to follow up with Ms. Gregg on her research about pricing, contracts, and obstacles that I may encounter in trying to switch to eco-friendly water bottles. I am also going to contact Mr. John Hopkins, the food services director for the Greenwich public schools system, to see if he can keep this initiative alive. 

I am open to other contacts if there are Patch users out there who would like to help me. And thank you to everyone who supports my project!
