volunteers. The group has been
meeting every Wendsday to plan the
weeklong event.
“In my fifth year of Earth Day
activities things have changed with
more students planning and hosting
events! My hope for the future is that
the entire campus will someday em
brace the environmental values of
Earth Day, now in its 30* year - think
GREEN!” said Crowhurst.
This year’s Earth Week will kick
off on Saturday, April 15 and last
through Thursday, April 20.
