We just got the call from upsatirs...

So this is like post 6, which is awesome, but we were just informed that we need to ease up a little. Cause it seems as though the American public cant take more than 3 of these bad boy's a week. Thus, the executive decision was made to limit our blogging to 3 posts a week.
Now, it might not be as bad as it seems:

• You'll still get three posts
• They will still be the best thing you have ever pretended to read
• You can still bookmark this page as the homepage of your web browser to impress your friends
• PF Flyer's will still make you run faster and jump higher

Remember that time when you could win free stuff? Yeah, seriously: just e-mail us at hsugreen@gmail.com a .jpeg of what our blog background should be by March 4th and if we pick your idea then you win one of these supa sweet bottles:

So now you're all, "I cant believe they talk about the same things all the time, blah, blah, blah!" (and yes I legitimately think that people use the word blah in real life.) Annnnd yes we might re-mention a few things... but it's all free and awesome stuff we want you to have and be a part of!! And now, more redundancy YAYYYY!

Do your self a flavor and Apply for theGreenteam and be one of the people that decides how HSU will become less green-dumb and more green-smart: WWW.bit.ly/GREENTEAM



Lastly our friends over at the GRIST have done it again. They came up with a plan of how ridding your bike will make you and the US of A re-rich (not only in $$$ but also in character too, aww) check it: http://www.grist.org/article/2011-02-28-how-bicycling-will-save-the-economy

So, in conclusion...ride your bike, but still wave a cars to be nice.

Shoot'um straight and the new old contest

2 years ago if you would have stopped me in the street and told me, "there would be free cookies outside my office on Febuary 23, 2011." I would have bought you dinner and said, "tell me more." But no joke it happend today. A young bot came runnign down the hall screaming "FREE COOKIES, FREE COOKIES!!" He then procedid to tell me some story about how he baked them from scratch and blah blah blah, I couldnt hear much over my chewing...
ok enough with the cookies already.


we have been getting a lot of questions latly about theGreenteam, i.e.- what it is? what they do? where they live? and it has come to our attention here at HSUGreen that we really havent told you much, so now, we are going to do a segmint called "Shoot'UM Straight" (which I beileve is a duragatory term from the old west, but who knows.)

theGreenteam:

• Will consist of up to 8 members. 
• These members will need to fill out an application and come to an interview (WWW.bit.ly/GREENTEAM) 
• If a student is choosen to be on theGreenteam they will be commited to 1 school year on the team (2 semesters)
• MOST IMPORTANTLY: theGreenteam is literally in charge of deciding how HSU actually becomes a greener place. Weather it's through events, screenings, projects, adding, subtracting, etc... the Green fate of HSU is in their hands (this is all of corse on a basis that can be handeled around school and other oblogations)  
• If you have any other questions email us at hsugreen@gmail.com or call 3256701252
• Hope all this helps, sorry its not in cursive
• I am not sure what else to say or what to do with my hands...

THE new OLD Contest:
Ok, so you may or may not know that we have a contest going on right now that will end March 4th. THis blog NEEDS a background bad! But, we are waaaay too lazy to find one on google images, so we want you to submit your ideas (please no stealing). Oh yeah and did we say IF WE PICK YOUR SUBMITION THEN YOU GET YOUR CHOICE OF A FREE NALGENE OR CAMELBAK REFILL-ABLE WATER BOTTLE?! cause we should have said that, cause its true. So, email your ideas in .jpeg format to hsugreen@gmail.com and may the best idea win a water bottle...cause they will.

Cinnamon rolls and New greenteam stuff

So it's Tuesday and I'm pretty much the only person in the office. I for sure got some work done, but my desk is covered in icing, cause I eat when I get lonely... speaking of which I have a turkey in the oven so lets make this a quick one.

In today's news:

 

• I ate a Cinnamon roll
• I took 2.4 cubic yards of material collected on campus to recycling
• Came up with the new greenteam campaign that will drop next week, so until then my mouth is shut like my math books from freshman year.
• According to a new report from the UNEP investing just 2% of global GDP could both alleviate global poverty, set us solidly on the path away from fossil fuels, and cut our collective ecological footprint nearly in half.
• Montana hasn't learned anything
• I'm serious, if you join thegreenteam you will get awesome free stuff, like your choice of re-fillable water bottle, stickers, a BAGGU bag, unlimited access to the world biggest chalkboard, and you will be calling the shots on how HSU gets greener. So do yourself a favor and : WWW.bit.ly/GREENTEAM

If Montana says it's true, it must be true.

So, it's monday and you know what that means?! Ok, we seriously have no idea what that means, so if someone could tell us that would be awesome! Thanks.

We finished a few things over the weekend.

1. The W.B.CB. (worlds biggest chalk board) is DONE...well except the paint can told us we have to wait 3 days and then color the entire wall with a later of chalk dust...in light of that we sent an e-mail to Obama asking him to deem thursday national W.B.CB. Day or national we are going to color our giant chalk board and then erase it and then write on it Day. We're hoping he goes with the second one. here's what part of it looks like:

2. We took out some personal recycling.

3. Took several naps.

A few updates:

• Since the start of HSUGreen (November 1st 2010) the students, faculty, and staff of HSU have given 13.3 cubic yard of material to be recycled. At this rate we will send enough recycling stuff to recycling to fill up 4 HSU outdoor campus pools. Speaking of which when do those open, my legs are supa white. 
• Like our facebook page: http://on.fb.me/fgUMS8 or click over there ---->
• Follow us on twitter: www.twitter.com/hsugreen or click that way ----->
• YOU can be all up in this biz... what I'm trying to say, is that YOU can be on theGreenteam and make calls on what/how HSU becomes Greener. Plus you will get some supa fresh Green Gear. Just apply down below or click here: WWW.bit.ly/GREENTEAM 
• Also, this blog needs a background!! send us your ideas in the form of a .jpeg and we'll pick the best one. The person's idea that gets picked gets some of that supa fresh green gear we might have talked about before.

Oh and we will be relocating to Montana, because "Global Warming" is good for them. I know, I know, here we are thinking we need to stop mass CO2 emissions, when really its a GOOD thing! Oh and humans had NOTHING to do with it! Please read it for yourself and consider moving to Montana with us : http://data.opi.mt.gov/bills/2011/billhtml/HB0549.htm 

Green Tip of the Day: DON'T BE A MONTANA.

That's should be plenty for today and honestly I'm just glad I was able to type this much, those "Welcome to Typing" classes must be paying off.

Odds are, most people wont read this...

After literally zero minutes of waiting and many average nights of sleep, the HSUGreen blog is live.

This is a place you can come when you are in desperate need to read, listen, and watch: STUFF. Mainly stuff that we care about, because we are biased and it's our blog, so like uncle Jerry used to say," Don't touch that toe, it's infected!" Inevitably some of this stuff will be about helping fix the earth and about all the "green" stuff on campus, but we wont stop there, oh no! There is much more to be said, so elect a friend to monitor this site at all times in anticipation of one of, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Recipes that can only be made in the microwave
• Scary stories that are only made up of lies and aren't actually "scary"
• Comic books
• Embarrassing intern stories
• Farmers Almanac Highlights
• Tips for coloring inside the lines
• Many more!
• In fact, if you suggest a topic we will present it to our editors and we'll post a majorly watered down version.

We will update everyday (minus weekends cause we have tons to do and need time to consume electrolytes...)

Basically, today's post can be compared to the grand opening of the best place in the world, but better, and when I say better I mean probably the same or equal to.

2 things to do today:

1.  Click the Facebook "like" button (but stretch first, 'cause we cannot afford another lawsuit) ---------> 
2. Apply to be on "the green team" It's down below or just click www.bit.ly/GREENTEAM (either way you can totally get free green gear and banana pudding...but promise to not be mad if there's no pudding) 

If there was ever an appropriate time to end a blog post, that time would be now.
