Q: What do you think is your club’s biggest achievement?
A: [Our] single biggest achievement is probably the installation of the bike rack just because we had a lot of red tape to jump over and the school never had a bike rack before and things kept getting stolen, so that helped.

A: Since our recycling program kind of died last year, we are planning to restart that. And also improve some of the gardens in the school that are a little bit trashed.
Q: What events is Gables Earth doing this year?
A: We are doing events similar to those last year. The most common ones are the beach clean up, wood shop and garden maintenance. But we are going to be doing special ones that include projects with water conservation and biking safely.
Q: What do you want to say to Gables on behalf of Gables Earth?
A: You should join our club because it is really cool and we have a fun event every meeting and you get to save the Earth.
