I’m reposting this in support of Santee Debate Team. I was in my high school debate team so this has a soft place in my heart. They’ve got an article on LA Times.

For our second service project, the Global Debate Team will be donating
trees to schools around LA by bicycle. Beginning Friday the 4th, we will
transport some of the trees. This will promote two ways of reversing climate
change: planting CO2-converting trees, and using alternatives to
CO2-emitting cars. We hope the schools we visit with our trees will agree to
replant and take care of them. We also hope they will feature us in their
newspapers and blogs, as Venice High School has already agreed to do.

Venice High School is 14 and a half miles from Santee Education Complex.
We invite anyone who wants a little exercise to join us on the ride to the
school along Venice Blvd. on Friday, December 4th, leaving Santee at 11am.

For each mention in a news source or blog, we will get points in the Global
Debates competition. The grand prize is a trip to the UN’s Youth Leadership
Summit in the Netherlands.

If you are a blogger, school, or media outlet and wish to cover our story,
or if you want to ride with us, please call Santee Debate Coaches Amber
Young at (310) 256-6267 or Nick Richert at (310) 428-4222

Good luck!

*Update: Just got off the phone with Amber and they will have future rides in addition to December 4th.
