Student paper begets Green Island at GISH

By Harold Reutter
harold.reutter@theindependent.com

A briefing paper written by senior Alyson Hartwig for her English class has resulted in a new student group called the Green Island being formed at Grand Island Senior High.

Hartwig said she decided to write her paper on global warming. In doing research, she came across the Web site for Focus the Nation, an organization that urged students to get together on a specific day to discuss the issue of global warming and what they could do about it.

Hartwig said she gathered students together in late February to watch an Earth Day TV program, "The 2 Percent Solution," which proposes reducing carbon emissions by 2 percent each year for the next 40 years.  Full Story
