HI KumarYV:
This is cmaxmin again. I submitted my action plan last night, and I just went to look at it this morning when I realized that there is a mistake. It's kind of hard to explain, but here it goes: when I was writing the plan, I described each member's roles and responsibilities, following the format. I described each individual and what they did in the club, etc... But, when I went back to look at the submitted plan, each member had the same description, which was not what I had written. So it the actual, non-submitted version of the plan, each member has individualized roles. But in the submitted version, each member has the same role, which goes somethings like "Charlie Scimone is a science teacher..." I'm not sure what to do about this. I could send you what I actually wrote about each person, but I couldn't find a way to resubmit the plan or make additional comments. Anyway, I just wanted to let someone know about this so that someone understand why each member is called "Charlie Scimone." Thanks for your help.

Hey Kumar! I just got a message from cmaxmin. He's super interested in the Lorax Challenge and I've encouraged him to contact you if he has any questions. Take a look at what he wrote on my wall: "The climate action club has done so many things year. we have established a no-idle zone policy for our school, initiated a battery recycling campaign (we recycled about 3000 batteries), conducted informal audits on our school to get an idea of what the process is like, and worked with local merchants to reduce the use of plastic bags in our town. next year we hope to continue working with the merchants (we have not yet switched to paper or canvas bags), work with the school to make it more efficient, place battery receptacles around our town (not just in school), and install energy efficient programs on our computers. we've been so busy, but it is so much fun! actually, i'm starting to fill out the application for the lorax challenge now!" You might want to contact him and offer more encouraging words so he gets it in before the deadline. I know it's coming up really, really soon! Like this week soon.... :-X
