Mr. PAUL.
Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute
to the Student Council Energy and Environment
Committee of Bastrop High School in
Bastrop, Texas. This dedicated group of students
has been working diligently on projects
to increase awareness about energy conservation
and the environment.
2000 Ron Paul 28:2
Some of their projects include trash pick-up,
recycling, efficient driving and car maintenance
training, and coordination of Earth Day
festivities in Bastrop on the third weekend of
April. They have also spread information by
way of books, pamphlets and posters around
their community. Not only has their work improved
the safety and appearance of the campus
and surrounding area, but it has also increased
feelings of school unity and pride
among the students.
2000 Ron Paul 28:3
Their local focus is an example to all of us
that local involvement is key to solving most
problems faced by Americans today. I am
proud to represent such a responsible and
dedicated group of young people.
2000 Ron Paul 28:4
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join
me in saluting the Student Council of Bastrop
High School. This is an excellent way to show
sincere appreciation for those who take the
time and energy to improve their communities
for themselves and others.
