\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re hoping this event will raise awareness about the environment, the planet, climate change, and solutions for what can be done to create a greener, more environmentally sustainable community,\u201d said Nick Russell, president of Student Action for Sustainability, whose vegetable oil powered Mercedes automobile will be on display.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther exhibits will include information about student organizations, state and local environmental groups, sustainable products, organic food, a make-your-own tie-dye table, and a rock wall for climbing. In addition, workshops on gardening, composting and bicycle repair will be offered between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.. Music will be provided by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Jazz Ensemble.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe event will conclude with the screening of the documentary film about global warming, Eleventh Hour, at 7 p.m. in Galanti Lounge in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Library.<\/p>\n
