Environmental Club has big week planned

Starting Monday morning on April 12 keep your eyes open for the various activities happening around the school centred around environmental awareness and activism.

The Fanshawe Environmental Club and the FSU have worked out a few ways YOU can win through participating (although, being kind to the planet is a win in itself, wouldn't you say?) Here's a lineup of what's going on:

GET CAUGHT RECYLCLING Monday through Friday and you'll be given a ballot to be entered in a draw to win a brand new bicycle! This could happen anywhere, especially around lunch time... hint hint. Also double ballots will be given to anyone caught COMPOSTING in one of our new compositing bins located in each cafeteria and outside. The draw will be Friday at noon.

COLLEGE CLEAN UP — Thursday 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. — meet at Forwell Hall at 4 p.m. and you'll be given some gloves and a bag to help clean up the much needed Fanshawe College Blvd. All volunteers will be given FREE PIZZA and drinks afterwards and entered in a draw to win four tickets to illScarlett that night!

INFO BOOTHS IN FORWELL HALL — Thursday and Friday — Stop by Forwell Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for some info on local organizations, food, events and more. There will be lots of opportunities to get involved in the community this summer if you're staying in London, and ideas for what you can do if you're heading home. Check out info from ReForest London, Earth Day London, Wilderness Committee, Climate Justice London, Waste Free World, and others!

Even if you are busy with studying and final projects there's no reason you can't do your part to become more aware of how your daily choices are affecting the world around you. Small steps like putting your Tim Horton's cups in the Tim Horton's composting bins, or switching to reusable mugs are examples of little actions that can add up to a lot. At the very least though, let's hope Fanshawe can get over littering, finally.
