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

Important Club Info and Amazing Opportunities to Pump Up Your Resume!

Hello everyone!

     I just wanted to get all of the club members on the same page by giving you all an update about the club this semester.  There is also two awesome new opportunities that might interest you, so read below for that!  

Update:

So, in the club meetings this semester, we have decided to focus on three main goals to work together towards: 

1.) Getting an urban farm on campus

2.) Banning plastic water bottles at CSULB (specifically targeting the Beach bottles)

3.) Banning plastic bags at all stores on campus.  

During the meetings we have been forming groups, coming up with goals and tasks, and combining all of our resources to start taking action.  If you are unable to make it to the meetings, but still want to help out, send us an email - we will need all the help we can get!  I know several of you are used to meetings that are more relaxed, where you can just sit back and listen, - don't worry we will have guest speakers and time for that, still.  Just imagine how awesome it will be by the end of all our hard work to say that we got an urban farm on campus and eliminated plastic bags and water bottles, too!  If you have any suggestions for these groups or any resources you want to share with the club

Event:

Job Openings and Announcements!

Hello Planeteers!

I hope all of you are enjoying the last few days of winter break while it is still here.  Before we all go back to school just thought we would through out a few announcements.

Firstly, CSULB has a new Sustainability Task Force, which is a group dedicated to making CSULB a sustainable campus through all sorts of projects, as small as having sustainable project mixers to applying for grants to put solar panels on the pyramid.  They are currently looking for sustainable projects for their mixers and design competitions, so if you or someone you know has any kind of project (finished or in progress) that is related to sustainability and wouldn't mind sharing with others, please don't be shy and send me an email.  

Secondly, there are a lot of jobs/internships available now all across the board, and we thought we would share those with you.  See the attachments and message below for more information.   

Last, but certainly not least, our first club meeting will be Tuesday, February 8th, 12:30 - 1:30 PM in USU 305, so mark that on your calendars!

Looking forward to getting together with all of you this semester and doing what we love: saving the planet  :)

From: "Alexa Markley, Greenpeace"
Subject: Tell your students: Leadership Opportunity with Greenpeace!
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 22:14:34 -0500

Dear Professor Paul Laris,

Happy New Year from Greenpeace! As we welcome 2011, the Greenpeace Student Training team has some updates about our program in the new year.

• We have a new name. Formerly the Greenpeace Organizing Term, we have recently changed our name to Greenpeace Semester. The program you have come to know has not changed - we've adopted Greenpeace Semester because we think it explains what we're all about a little bit better: a semester at Greenpeace!

• We have a new website. You may have noticed that the layout for our site has changed a bit. We now have a FAQ page specifically for university faculty.

• We have new summer sessions. The Greenpeace Semester is introducing a five week training offered twice this summer in Washington, DC. This is a great opportunity for students who are unable to take a full semester off of school but still want to receive activist training from Greenpeace.


Many of you have sent announcements, emailed students, hung fliers on your campus, and allowed our staff to come into your classrooms in previous semesters. We really do appreciate your continued support. Looking ahead, we still have a lot of work to do: getting campuses across the country to quit coal, putting an end to corporate pollution, and continuing to convince elected officials to pass strong environmental legislation.

The solution is simple: we need people to take action.

We would love to work with students from your campus who are ready to develop their leadership skills and become advocates for change! Can you forward the message below to students who might be interested in joining Greenpeace for a semester?


Students,

The Greenpeace Semester is a great opportunity to receive hands-on training that will give you the skills you need to become an environmental leader.

Many students feel they just don't have the skills to rally hundreds of their peers, have a big impact on corporations, or feel they're able to pressure our elected officials. During the Greenpeace Semester, you will learn about current environmental issues and solutions. You'll also be trained by experts in grassroots organizing, leadership, media, and campaign strategy.

Many students receive course credit for the semester through their university, and program staff will work with you to obtain credit.

Applications are currently open for our summer semesters, and our early deadline is approaching on February 7th! Historically, two-thirds of Greenpeace Semester students have been early applicants. Don't wait, apply for the Greenpeace Semester today!

To apply for one of our upcoming terms, click here! For more information on dates and locations, check out the Greenpeace Semester website.

Contact us if you have any questions at usa-semester@greenpeace.org.

For the planet,
Alexa Markley

We are so excited to work with a new group of students in 2011 that is ready to be the next generation of leaders for the environmental movement! If you are interested in becoming part of our exclusive Professor Network or have recently changed your contact please click here to be added to our list. You will be directed to a short survey where you can opt-in to our Network. If you are already part of our Network but your university mailing address has recently changed, please fill out our short survey to update your contact information. Our Professor Network receives updates from Greenpeace on a more regular basis: alumni success stories, news about the program, and materials to pass out to students. If you are in terested in being more involved with Greenpeace, sign up for our Network today!
