Earth Day fills the plaza |
Commuter Day / Earth Day overlapped
the second day of the Volunteer Fair on the plaza April
22. The resulting mix of exhibitor tables offered
information on topics such as environmental policy,
planned parenthood, community service, and justice for
Mumia. With a rap concert, free cotton candy, and prize
drawings for a bicycle and other goodies, the day offered
something of interest to every student. The main focus of
the observation was raising awareness on local air
quality issues, with special emphasis on commuting. With
the "ozone season" starting May 1, Earth Day
served as an opportunity to get students thinking about
their part in solving problems.
