Celebrate Earth Week!
April 20, 2010
It’s Earth Week! And it’s time to celebrate the earth we live in and love. All week CRC faculty, staff and students will be considering our impact on the earth through a series of films, lectures, activities and displays.
During Earth Week, you are challenged to Think, Change, and Act! I encourage each of you to think about the impact you have on the earth through your choices such as the foods you eat, the electricity you use, the products you buy. Change a habit and make a difference for the future. Act now to protect the earth’s resources and to improve our future. If you are looking for real tips to change your habits, take a look at CRC’s Green Scene, a publication dedicated to CRC’s sustainability efforts both on and off campus.
Check out one of these Earth Week activities: 
- Tuesday: Lecture and Film- ”The Kayapo: Indians of the Brazilian Rainforest” by Anastasia Panagakos (1:30-2:50 in LRC 104)
