New Club Officers and Earth Week!

Happy Spring Break!

     Both Earth Week and the end of the semester are quickly approaching, so we want YOU!  

     With the end of the school year, comes the end to the current officer positions.  We will have an open discussion about new officer positions on April 12th, and hopefully decide on new officers by the last week of April, SO... if you are interested in being a club officer next year, let us know ASAP, and we can meet with you, answer any questions, direct you, etc.  Don't be shy, and send us an email, even if you are curious - there may just be a perfect position for you, and we can help you figure that out.  The club is only as strong as its members, but it still needs leaders to keep growing strong!  

If you are available to help out at any of the Earth Week events, please see below, and let us know when you will be able to volunteer.  

Earth Week volunteer sign up:

• Earth Week Fair (informing students about the club and environmental efforts at tables):  
• Tuesday & Wednesday 11:00 AM - 2;00 PM
• Movie Showing of "No Impact Man"
• Wednesday 7:00 - 9:00 PM
• Green Gov't Jobs Career Panel
• Thursday 12:30 - 1:30 PM

Thank you for your help, everyone!

Actions speak louder than words - so lets prove that we care about the environment - lets do something about it!

Help us Petition for a Cleaner Environment

Hello Everyone!

     Attached are two petitions to help make CSULB more sustainable.  If you are willing and able to print these out, pass these around, and make announcements in each of your classes we would be very appreciative!  The first petition is for banning plastic bags on campus (mainly the ones at the food courts) and the second petition is for banning plastic water bottles (specifically the 49er/Go Beach! water bottles) and transition to hydration stations. We need to have as many signatures as possible by the end of April, possibly earlier, so we need help ASAP!

     We also have a survey that goes along with the plastic water bottle ban/transition that we would like to have distributed to several general education classes.  Please email us if you would be willing to send your general education class one of these short (about 6 questions) surveys.

**Important Note: In order to petition outside of class, you must get a free soliciting permit for the day from the Student Life and Development (SLD) Center in the USU.  We want these petitions to be legitimate, so we want to do it the right way...which means daily permits for petitioning outside of class.  (No permit is necessary if you petition during a class). Once the petitions are filled as much as you can get them, please let us know, and remember: make sure people are not signing more than once.

Thank you in advance for all your help!

Urban Farm and Internship Meeting This Tuesday!

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This Tuesday March 8th from 12:30-1:30pm in USU 305 we will have guest speaker, Joe Corso, Garden Director of Long Beach Organics, Inc., at the meeting to help us out with the Urban Farm and possible Community Garden on campus! 

He will have several internship opportunities to share with us, from gardening, to publicity, even grant writing.  For those interested in having an urban farm demonstration/community garden at CSULB, this will be incredibly important. You don't want to miss it!  

 

Long Beach Organics (LBO) is a local non-profit dedicated to creating and maintaining community gardens in Long Beach.  With their help, it will be VERY difficult for President Alexander to say no to the project.  Let's get the ball rolling and the urban farm demo on campus!  The more help, the better. Bring your friends, enjoy some free food, and help us make a difference!

 

Thanks for reading

Cheers,

Alys Arenas
