I read an interesting article today in the New York Times about college students who are implementing ways to be eco-friendly. I thought it was a great idea if everyone is willing to participate. As a way of combatting global warming, students are limiting the length of their showers, turning off the lights when they are not needed and are even turning off the refrigerator and using it as a form of storage for certain foods. College students across the country are jumping onto this ‘going green’ bandwagon, which is interesting and great to hear. Perhaps we could start something at OSU because there is a large number of students living in dorms and houses around the campus who probably don’t realize how much energy they are wasting.
This article could be helpful for our possible ‘how to’ piece as it lists a number of steps people could and should take to overcome global warming. It might be useful for us to use as a guide along with Steve Cook’s advice.

Steve Cook responded to my e-mail so I will be meeting him tomorrow morning to ask him some questions. I originally thought that he would be a good person to talk to about how it is best to conserve the environment and I think I will ask him some questions based on this, but I was also thinking that I could write a mini profile on him and his personal views on global warming. I was told that he has his own water system set up at his house so it might be interesting to talk to him about that.

I met with Lindsey yesterday afternoon to upload the interviews/footage onto the computer. It did take some time so it looks like we have a lot of editing to do but the interviews look great and we’ve got a lot of information so I think that once we work which footage is best, it should come together really well.

Today we met members of the solar vehicle team and started interviewing them. It was really interesting to see where they have been working and to actually take a look at the vehicle itself. I can’t believe that they are going to travel across the country in it!! We got some great footage and interviewed about six members of the group so now we have a lot of editing to do but I think the final product will be a really interesting documentary and it seems like the solar vehicle team are excited to talk about what they have been working on for such a long time.
