Mount Edgecumbe AYEA (MEAYEA)

About Us

We founded the Mount Edgecumbe AYEA chapter in 2004. Located in Sitka, the Mt. Edgecumbe High School population represents 120 Alaskan communities. MEAYEA is very active! We organized a Recycling Awareness Week in the spring, and in 2005 we traveled to 10 villages and cities to educate our peers about global warming. Over 15 communities can be represented at a time at a MEAYEA meeting, and at almost all meetings, every region of Alaska is represented. Our future plans include obtaining our school's Green Star certification and working on AYEA's 3-2-1 Campaign to combat global warming through personal actions

Get Involved!

MEAYEA meets every Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. at Mt. Edgecumbe High School in Mr. Mahoney's classroom.

Week Without Plastics, April 21-25, 2008

Students from MEAYEA will be selling reusable bags at various locations throughout the week. On Saturday, April 19, reusable organic cotton bags will be sold at Wells Fargo Bank from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bags will also be sold on Tuesday, April 22, Earth Day, at Sea Mart Quality Foods from 4:30-6:30 p.m. And again on Saturday, April 26, bags will be sold at Lakeside Grocery from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Profits from the bags will fund further AYEA events and projects.
 
Students will be asking community members to "rethink" their consumption during the week. MEAYEA will also be hosting a booth at the Earth Day festival at the Crescent Harbor Shelter on Friday, April 25, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. selling reusable bags and providing information on the state-wide AYEA Plastics Campaign.
