EarthCARE's Gain Sharing Program Well Received at Glebe Collegiate

By Stephan Grade 11, Glebe Collegiate, April 20, 2006

To further the environmentalists' hopes of securing a safe and healthy world, Glebe Collegiate's environmental group, TWIGS, participated in the annual Ottawa-Carleton District School Board audit in March of 2005. We received $2000 as part of the Gain Sharing Program to go towards furthering the goal of reducing, reusing and recycling. Twigs plans to use this money towards the purchase of bike racks. Currently, we have only a few tucked in behind some trees in a secluded spots favoured by thieves. Despite previous efforts to change the arrangement of the front yard, to cater towards those who choose a more environmentally friendly mode of transport, nothing has been done about putting in new bike racks. TWIGS hopes to change that disposition, and encourage a more eco-friendly Glebe Collegiate.
