Planting Seeds of Sustainability
Welcome
Welcome
A very big welcome to everyone on this great Earth Day! We are
so glad you joined us to celebrate once again a day that is
growing steadily in importance each year. This year’s theme,
“Planting Seeds of Sustainability,” speaks loudly for our plans for
the future. As a community, we are dedicated to
instilling the knowledge and passion in all citizens that will carry
environmental awareness well into the years. The symbolism of
planting a seed marks the beginning of a tremendous goal we
must work together to achieve. A seed, at its beginning, must
be cared for and nurtured, but it soon will bloom into a selfsustaining masterpiece. This Earth Day, we want to plant the
seed of environmental stewardship in our community and help it
grow. We seek the efforts of each and every one of you to make
this dream a reality. Today is for honoring what we have already
done to promote sustainability, but also to encourage greater
things. The Outdoor Pursuits Earth Day Committee thanks you
for attending, and for all your hard work. We hope to reap the
benefits of a healthy world with you!
THANK YOu:
Recycling
Our city is in a time of transition for recycling. Curb-side service
for recycling is no longer available in Nacogdoches, but city leaders
are taking active steps to bring an economically feasible program to
our concerned community. On March 2, 2010, the Nacogdoches City
Council approved the creation of a pilot satellite drop site recycling
program for paper and cardboard products. The program is currently
in the early stages of implementation, but we can look forward to
the convenience of a local drop site for recyclables in the near
future. In the meantime, there are still opportunities to reduce
your carbon footprint locally. Here is a list of recycling options
today:
Material
Paper and Cardboard
Motor Oil
Accepted by the city landfill free of charge.
Place items un-bagged into bins.
Old magazines can be donated to hospitals,
the jail or the City Library.
Must be pure motor oil with no other types
of oil combined. Drain the oil into a clean
container and take to one of the used-oil
locations listed below.

Musicians
The Texas Rambler
Also known as “The Texas Rambler,” Paul Martinez is a
natural-born musician and song-writer who some say has been chasing his
musical dreams since the age of five. On top of having his music played
in 32 countries, and opening for such performers as Cross Canadian
Ragweed, Martinez has appeared in
two movies and was inducted into The
American Old Time Country Music Hall Of Fame.
Today, The Texas Rambler spends his days
performing in East Texas and occasionally out
of state, not straying too far from his East
Texas ranch. He still avidly writes songs and
books gigs via his website, www.pmttr.com.
Kristen Chalk
Kristen
Chalk
started
making
music in Nacogdoches, TX during the spring of 2007. She has a huge
Texas Country/Red Dirt influence in her music that is combined with a
soulful sound as well. Currently Kristen Chalk performs as a solo artist
but is working hard to further her music and put a solid band together. In
2010 Kristen will be spending much time writing more songs and traveling to share her unique Texas Country sound.
Katelyn Willis
Katelyn Willis is a 19-year-old sophomore
at SFA studying English. She has been
singing her whole life. She taught herself
to play guitar at 14 and has been eager to
perform ever since. Katelyn is influenced by
Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert and all
classic rock and roll, especially Led
Zeppelin and Queen. She hopes to start her
professional recording career by the time
she is 21.
Joel Harrell
Joel Harrell is a “self-proclaimed singer/songwriter” hailing from
southeast Texas. He began playing guitar at the age of thirteen
and writing songs shortly thereafter. His music is a blend of folk
music smashed together with modern pop. “But I don’t really try
to limit myself to one genre,” says Harrell, “it’s basically a matter
of whatever God put in me coming out.” While Joel enjoys playing
the guitar and other stringed instruments, he is a firm believer in
the essential form of lyrical expression. “ The words of a song, to
me anyway, are the primary feature in a piece. I mean, without
lyrics, a song would merely be an instrumental! Most of the time,
people take for granted the power of words. The message the
writer is trying to convey to the audience must be the forefront.
When I listen to the lyrics of a song, I see that as the
personality of the writer coming out.”
