The DHS Captain Planet Club, formed in January 2005, is an active environmental service club dedicated to helping our community and earth through projects, events, and general awareness. We work with local organizations, businesses, and professionals to contribute our part to the fight against pollution, waste, and environmental disregard in today's world.

         

          Our club is set up dynamically as a friendly environment to aid both fellow Planeteers and our external community. Each Planeteer belongs to one of five committees within the club; Earth, Fire, Heart, Water, or Wind. These smaller groups are distinguished by their T-shirt colors (see here), following by the example of the characters of the Captain Planet T.V. series of the 1990s. The committees are designed to have Planeteers get to know one other more personally in smaller group settings. Comraderie is quickly formed between members of the committees, and is displayed positively in settings like projects and meetings. However, inter-committee relations are never disregarded, as the club is a very collaborative, communal atmosphere. We all work together to accomplish our goals, even by delegating leadership duties to willing Planeteers. 

          

          In the school setting at Davis Senior High School, our club meets every other Tuesday at lunch in room L-23 to discuss upcoming events, projects, news, and to generally have a good time. On the off weeks of club meetings, officer meetings are held to plan and organize upcoming meetings, projects, and fundraisers. We pride ourselves on being a very hip, friendly, collaborative club working together do our part--come by and see for yourself!

           Joe is a lonely teenager looking for a companion to hold at night. He enjoys backpacking in the buck and crocheting inappropriate garments for his dog. Joe says the key to life is to "look at everything with one of your eyes closed. It hurts after a while."

 

          David is often titled "Mr. Popular" at DHS, but almost exclusively in Anime Club meetings every month. David spends his time repairing his broken glasses with superfluous amounts of tape, and enjoys perusing the backs of cereal boxes. After high school, David says he plans to "live with my mom."

 

Nicho is a fun-loving member of the loathed DHS environmental club. Nicho excels in flying home-made kites, annoying people, and un-rooting trees with his bare hands. If Nicho could be one thing, he says he would want to be a "is this going on the website?" Nicho would like to thank his step mom for all of her love and tolerance.

 

Evan is a skilled field hockey player, but admits that "the sport is absolutely worthless. Man, my back hurts like a--did I just call it a sport?" Evan's favorite past-times include observing others sleeping, chugging tang, and visiting his "gorilla friends" at the Sacramento Zoo. Evan would like to give a "shout-out" to Koko, saying, "Forever young, friend," in American sign language. Evan added in a friendly closing remark, "I will rob this club of every dime it sees."

 

          When asked what he enjoys most about earth, Phil replied casually that "it really isn't all it's cracked up to be." In his free time, Phil enjoys being flagrantly off topic, jogging backward at night on I-80 East, and making a scene in quiet settings. Phil says he lives on the edge by "holding it until it really hurts." As project coordinator, Phil says he hopes to "sabotage my fellow project coordinator's political career."

 

         An interesting fact Julia would like others to know about her is that her dad was the understudy windchime player in the band formally known as "Van Halen," and also that she may or may not be a chronic bed-wetter--"look at my sheets and see for yourself," she added. If Julia had free time, she says she would "stop talking to Joe Garrity," and "work on making eye contact with people taller than me." Julia hopes to climb the ranks of the CP club, and eventually impose a communist, but friendly, regime.

 

 

          Doug is a maverick at DHS, and notorious in even the most reclusive of circles for his reckless antics, like the time he "cherry-bombed the chicks' toilets." Doug says the activities he enjoys most are shameless self-promotion, studying the top of people's heads, and "spray-painting my SAT score on the hood of David Panek's car every Monday." Before he dies, Doug says he would like to "mangle the public image of this club beyond repair."

 

          Kevin is an easy-going 47 year old who is known for going through the motions, feeling luke-warm about his club sponsorship, and invoking tears in his students. When asked what he likes most about teaching, Kevin replied, "it really only sucks on the weekdays." In his free-time, Kevin enjoys listening to radio static, collecting uniquely shaped Oreo-O's, and "burning my AP U.S. history students' work in the back of my running car just to make them do it again." Before storming off from this survey, Kevin added off-handedly, "this club won't last a week."
