On Wednesday, which is tomorrow, Environmental Justice along with other greenies will be camping at the Diag. If you are passing by the Diag tomorrow, make sure you go to the EJ table and put your signature down on a poster that says “Thank You RDS for serving Fair Trade Coffee!”
The poster is a way to thank the University’s dining services for serving fair trade coffee for the rest of the week in honor of Earth Week. The people in EJ (me included, ehem) made the posters.
On April 3rd, Oil on Ice will be shown. Oil on Ice is an award-winning documentary about Arctic Wildlife National Reserve. If you haven’t heard, the Senate is planning to pass a bill to drill AWNR soon. This is a good opportunity to be educated on the ANWR issue.
Happy Earth Week people.
