报告：
亲爱的评委们，你们认为在过去三个月，我们是否在校园和社区内产生影响了呢？请看：
一个国际化的工作小组加入了，自行车架安装好了，绿色承诺签署好了，该看的电影看了，数以百计的志愿者工作也已经记录在案了。校园里的湖、步道系统、以及一个已经被遗忘的植物园的改造方案亦被采纳。我们第一个可再生能源设施已经安装完毕，层压节水海报正在印刷中，回收计划已经制定好了，餐厅开始采购本地食品，节能灯管也在全校范围内安装好了。会员人数增加了，反对8英里外8000英亩露天采矿计划的意识也在增强。
他们正在勘探钻井，估计2012年会正式开采。我们小组成员由2010年的一个服务学习课程项目发展而来。我们现在已经是AlaskaAnchorage大学Matanuska-Susitna学院下的一个正式学生俱乐部了。
Mat-Su的Carbon Crew成员致力于建立“减少、再用、回收”的意识。我们正在进一步了解可再生能源，新的食品生产方式，以及如何从可再生资源中生产新的产品。我们会鼓励和培育环保工作岗位以及可持续发展的环保社区。我们为我们的校园和学生感到骄傲。请点击以下链接，更深入了解我们：http://www.matsu.alaska.edu/aboutMSC/。
经由三国·智这个国际传播媒介，我们有许多与世界各地的团队、阿拉斯加州、本地的市镇官员、许多本地的非政府或非盈利组织、以及未来的学生们合作的极佳机会。我们已经同Mat-Su学院的教工建立了良好的关系。我们有高质量且还在不断增长的朋友网络，横跨多种公共部门和私人部门。我们与我们的好朋友，ValleyCommunity for Recycling Solutions的执行董事Mollie Boyer，一起高喊：“我们一起，扭转局面”。
这是一场多棒的经历呀。我们付出努力的一个直接回报就是，许多学生开始报名加入我们了。许多公司开始联系我们，希望与我们合作实践我们的新想法。投资者开始向我们咨询，希望成为我们的合伙人，与我们一起开发更多的项目，好让人们回到环保领域的工作岗位上。社区组织不但认可了我们以及我们的努力，而且承诺将在我们已经做成的事情上帮我们把事业推得更高。成功！
非常感谢您花时间认真考虑。请继续支持我们，让我们一起憧憬一个更健康、更安全、更干净、更绿色的未来。您可以通过以下邮件联系我们：matsucarboncrew@live.com。Team leaders: DavidJohnson
