Sustainability Week Continues…

Texas A&M’s first ever Campus Sustainability Day was a huge success!

  • The interaction and response was amazing; thanks to all for working hard to set this up.
  • The ASE and Community Garden table was rocking with hundreds of people stopping by, and pages of new contacts. Awesome job!
  • Arts/Crafts table: AMAZING! Everyone (students, administration, young, old, girls, boys, etc.) were drawn into the great work of all the artists and crafters. It definitely stopped all in their tracks.
  • Endless lines for free bicycle tune-ups; I don’t know how Maroon Bike managed to keep up. It seems like they tuned-up all of A&M.
  • Also, a big thanks to all participating organizations/departments/bands/speakers/artists (photography, fashion)/farmers.

But wait! We have one more event…

 Free Screening of the 11th hour on Thursday/ October 23/ Koldus 111/ 7:30-10:00 p.m.

“This is a great environmental documentary narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio. The film includes interviews with Nobel Prize recipients, social entrepreneurs like Paul Hawken!, and sustainability leaders (e.g. David Orr). It is a tremendous movie, the event link:”

Join us tonight to learn more about why/how we can help further sustainability on campus!

*The 6th annual National Campus Sustainability was the first for A&M and I believe we have already caught up to the rest of the nation with this one. All members of the Association for Social Entrepreneurship, the Sustainability Council, and Kelly Wellman, our Sustainability Officer just pulled off one of the most tremendous undertakings for progress on this campus. Incredible!

Craft Workday=Fun!

By Angelica Huerta on Oct 19, 2008 in News | 0 Comments

Today, Sunday October 19,  at 2pm at 404 College Main, Apt. B (behind Northgate), we will be crafting at Nicole’s house. Bring art supplies, non-recyclable or craft items. I don’t know about you but having a day to just create and have fun (reminds me of childhood) sounds amazing!

Also, if you gave a shirt for tie dye I will be taking them for you to pick up.

If you need further clarification about directions, non-recyclable items or how to volunteer for *Campus Sustainability Day, Oct. 22, Rudder, 10-4pm* feel free to call me.

Also, please attend Tuesday’s (Oct. 21) Sustainability meeting in MSC 229 at 8:30 pm to finalize volunteering and hear from A&M’s Sustainability Officer, Kelly Wellman, on how Campus Sustainability will go down.
