1. Many students asked for the school not to sell Krispy Kreme donuts due to the palm oil dilemma.
Suggestion is, we do a petition for the PAC to only raise funds using items that do not harm the environment, and for them to hopefully explain to Krispy Kreme why they are no longer using them for fundraising.
2. List of things to do next year!
- School board - put Climate Action in the curriculum - Province Wide
- Mural at Subway station (or other busy location) - $
- In-class EGMS presentations
- Visit Elementary school for a climate change assembly
- School garden - $
- Earth day - Green and blue day
- Repair workshop - ask Mr. Cobb if we can have a project where you bring in an old thing and fix it
- Clothing exchange -- repair first at Home Ec room
- Another motion with the city - GSA and 2SLGBTQ+ motion of support
- Racism awareness
- Marketing -- SWAG Pins, shirts, hats, posters - $

- FUR BANNING!!! Check resource page for contacts
- HUGE - SD40 - - Lunch containers MUST be compostable, this would help the whole recycling system so there is no contamination since no one cleans.

How San Francisco translated its 300-page climate plan into tangible actions for residents
Most climate action plans are long, dry documents that few people understand. San Francisco decided to change that.

From Leo - I am thinking of whether we should host a charity drive during the summer, so we pay $X per pound of textiles, $X per pound of electronics, $X per pound of ewaste, etc. to a certain charity. We can finance these donations from our funds, and then refurbish, repair, and then resell the stuff that we could and donate/recycle the stuff we can't (e.g. clothing with hate symbols) and have profits go towards our club operations.
Sent to Dominic - Let's keep in touch -- maybe we can collaborate next year! The students were thinking of pressuring SD40 to have only compostable packaging for their food... so that could make a big difference in the city. Right now we find that no one washes their aluminum containers and it all ends up contaminated.
