Ivy's Month

I'm a bit late on this, but being that it's Ivy's birth month there are many things in the works. Clint got the ball rolling on this with his idea for Ivy's Day, and San Luis High has been working on some amazing ideas to honor and help Ivy.

I'll start with what is going on at the high school. In honor of Ivy's commitment to environmental causes, they've started something called "Go green for Ivy", which involves students pledging to do something to positively effect the environment. Pledges are written on an Ivy leaf, and displayed. "Income for Ivy" milk jugs have been placed around the school. Students are also making and selling hemp bracelets with all proceeds going towards Ivy's recovery fund. They're also working on an Ivy t-shirt with a bat motif, to be designed by the nice people at Hep Kat, and Left Coast T's has greatly reduced the price of their services for the occasion. Other fund raisers include a bake sale and a movie morning at the palm theater. Details will follow. Thanks to everyone at the high school for their continued support and concern. It's truly overwhelming to see all the people rallying for Ivy.

I thought this would be a good place to revive the discussion around Clint's concept of Ivy's Day (to coincide with Ivy's birthday). The idea is best summed up in his own words:
"Wouldn't it by cool for us all to see Ivy as a stone dropped into a still pond and then we are the ripples created by her simple actions? So how can you help Ivy make the world a better place?
A list of Ivy inspired actions:
recycle more
convert to alternative fuels
mentor a child
eat less or no meat
use non animal tested cosmetics
use biodegradable products/soaps/cleaners
adopt an animal
abstain from dissecting animals
spend time with an elderly person
give money to a food bank or other responsible aid organization
Be creative. Do it for Ivy, for the world and for yourself."
