Marin Academy Eco-Council

Eco Pirates

Let’s get this straight from the start: we’re pirates. Ecopirates. We sail wherever we like, do things our own way, and we like to say ARRRRRGH. And wear eyepatches. Sometimes we spell things with extrrrra R’s just because we can. Those R’s stand for REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE and RE-THINK. We like to think of ourselves as the ‘action arrrrm’ of the Eco-Council; with us it’s all about the doin’ and not the talkin’.

This year and last we’ve been working on paper reduction, recycling, battery charging, and as of this writing we’re getting ready to check the tire pressure of all the carrrrs on campus because fully inflated tires get better mileage. Next year may be different— who knows where we may roam or what we’ll do; we’re pirates, we’re unpredictable and that’s how we like it. If the composting folks need a little reinforcement we’re therrrre. We’re the spice in the soup. And we got T-shirts.
