EARTH DAY EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Just in case you didn't know, EARTH DAY is this Sunday, April 22, 2012! Don't forget to give the earth some extra love that day!

In celebration of Earth Day, the Greenteam is hosting a few events on campus on April 24 and April 25!

On Tuesday, April 24, we are having our Plant Giveaway event in the Basement of Moody at NOON (12:00 PM). Come to the Basement to paint some plant pots! We also give you guys a free plant once you paint your pot! Channel your inner artist and get ready to paint!

On Wednesday, April 25, we are celebrating ONE DAY WITHOUT WASTE!!! ODWW is a day where you don't produce any waste. This means you don't throw any trash in the trash can. You can still recycle that day, but make sure what you recycle is actually recyclable! This is a REAL CHALLENGE. Think differently on how you can reduce/eliminate waste that day. Instead of paper towels, use an automated hand dryer. If you don't have one near you to use, find a different way to dry your hands (perhaps, wipe them on your pants?). Instead of buying fast food (where you end up with greasy food containers that you will end up throwing away), maybe grab some friends the night before, cook some food, store your leftovers in the fridge in a reusable plastic container (like a Glad container), and warm your food up on One Day Without Waste! 

On One Day Without Waste, we are also having a picnic on Anderson Lawn at NOON (12:00 PM). Come bring some lunch and eat with us! Don't forget to make sure that the lunch you bring won't create waste!

ALSO, we are looking for new Greenteam members! If you are interested in being a part of the Greenteam, find us on Facebook and write on our wall if you want to join! Include your email address with your wall post!

Have a great day and love the earth!

As a side note, congratulations to all of you Harry Potter fans because Pottermore finally opened to the public earlier this week!
