That's right! Earth Day will be here in less than a month! I bet you have creative ideas for how the Student Activists can capitalize on this momentous day to raise awareness about environmental responsibility at SAIC.
Here are some great links about Earth Day 2009:
Please share with me your ideas, and consider taking on a leadership role in this initiaitve, as part of the Student Activists' Environmental Sub-Committee.
In our Earth Day activities, we will be able to work with SAIC's office of Instructional Resources and Facilities Management. For instance, their trash and recycling contractor, Allied Waste, would be able to place put a large cube of crushed aluminum outside the Columbus Building for the day. This would function well as the centerpiece to our Earth Day awareness activities ie, members of the student activists could team up for shifts to hand out flyers about recycling in Chicago and at SAIC. It would be great to have some give-aways like stickers or the like.
Want to design flyers or posters or banners for us to use? What messages would you like to send about environmental responsibility at SAIC and in Chicago? Please share your ideas!
Earth Day will also be the kick-off event for our campaign with Res Life and IRFM to make the end of the semester more “Green”, focusing on urging dorm residents to recycle or donate all they can as they clear our their rooms.
Right after the meeting, Student Activists who are able will head to the Corner Bakery to snack and solidify our next steps toward the realization of our Earth Day projects.
Join us!
