It's Sexy to be Green!

Hey everyone,

So a few of us got together last night to hash out some 'Green is Sexy' Calendar decisions. We'd really like to get this calender up and in the hands of people by the first week of finals, which gives us appoximately one month. This is not a lot of time, so this Sunday is our first photoshoot! We will be meeting at 1104 State Street at 9:30 a.m. to drive out to Eric Earle's house (where the barn dance was). This is where we will be doing our outdoor shots. We will be taking pictures from 10 - 1 that day. If you can not make it at 9:30, but want to come anyway, here are the directions: Take Hwy 16 towards Onalaska, take a right at Hwy B (at the stoplights), take another right on Smith Valley Road and go down a few miles until you get to N2931 Smith Valley Road.

The scenes by month are as follows (* we will be taking on Sunday):
January: New Year's Celebration focusing on recycling
February: Save Water, shower together with organic, cruelty free shampoos and soaps
*March: Backpacking focusing on ecotourism, enjoying nature, etc.
*April: Tree-hugging for Earth Day focusing on sustainable logging
*May: Biking...alternative transportation, reduced dependence of fossil fuels
*June: Canoeing and invasive species
*July: Carpooling in a hybrid car
*August: Organic harvest
*September: Green building and energy efficiency
October: Mustaches/pigtails for peace
November: Thanksgiving dinner (eating low on food chain) and waste
December: Alternative Christmas; living Christmas tree and fair trade, eco-friendly presents

As you can see we have a lot of pictures for this Sunday, so the more people the better! Bring your friends, your friends friends, your roommates, whoever. For these pictures, we will need props and we will need a people to help with scene set-up, etc. So if you're not comfortable showing off your bod, we could still you your help. I guarantee this will be a good time.
