Go Green Week

February 1, 2008

Go Green Week strives to “change public perceptions about environmental issues from hand wringing hopelessness to engaged hands on problem solving.”

APU Go Green Week is brought to you by the Office of Communiversity, Facilities Management, the Office of Ministry and Service, the Office of Residence Life, the Office of the Associated Student Body, Food Services, and various APU Faculty.

Schedule of Events:

Monday- What does Christianity have to do with the environment? What does the environment have to do with social justice? Come hear keynote speaker, Rev. Peter Moore-Kochlacs, Executive Director of Environmental Ministries of Southern California will speak on environmental issues and caring for God's creation. 6pm in Wilden Lecture Hall.

Tuesday- Sustainability Resource Fair. Come out to Cougar Walk and learn from a variety of organizations active steps you can take 10:30am-2pm.

Wednesday- Cut your carbon footprint day. Ride your bike, walk to west campus, carpool. Take the challenge to not use your car unless you have to.

"The Story of Stuff" Short Film Screening. www.storyofstuff.com 7pm Trinity Lounge. Join us for a information and impactful film followed by a discussion with Ginny Dadaian, Director of Community Relations

Thursday- Take the Pledge Assembly. Come out to Cougar Walk to take the pledge in what you will do to help reduce waste. 10:30am-2pm.

We also wanted to make you aware of a campaign that will be taking place during the week that will cause many to make a sacrifice but help aid in the process of learning the amount of resources that we could save. Next week (February 4^th-8^th) there will be no styrofoam products served in the café, which means that if you want to eat in the café you will need to dine in. By taking away styrofoam from the café for the week we will be saving 1500 pieces of stryrofoam that would have otherwise been thrown in the trash.

For those of us who are on the go and counted on the convenience of having a to-go system in the café, please know that Cougars’ Den, the Walk, and Heritage Café will still provide to-go options.

We are wanting to make a lasting impact, and we thank you in advance for your understanding.
