First Earth Day Flash Photo - 2011

 

The Flash Mob / Flash photo was a nice success! Thank you all who attended and took part in another great Earth Day activity. This year we took a group photo spelling "EARTH!," a few outlining the continents, and one even shaped like a tree!  Remember the more people we have, the better it gets, and the bigger the impact of the message it sends. Look forward to next year when this event gets really huge!

Flash Mob / Flash Photo Event rescheduled

The Flash Mob / Flash Photo event has been RESCHEDULED to this coming Friday, April 29th due to rain last week on Earth Day. Starting at 1:15 pm, people will be moved into Old Stadium and arranged for the picture at 1:30. Please come in green or purple attire! Our idea is to arrange people to stand in an organized fashion so that, from a top-down perspective, they will look like the earth! This is a fantastic opportunity to show your support for an environmentally friendly future and make an impact here at k-state, but we need you all to be there to make that happen! Hope to see you all at the photo!

Celebrate Earth Day!

  

Come and celebrate Earth Day at K-state! Students for Environmental Action (SEA) will be hosting an Earth Day Celebration in Bosco Plaza (or Union Ballroom if rain) on Friday, April 22nd. Booths from SEA and many other organizations, such as KSU Student farm, ASLA, Horticulture Club, Anthropology Club, K-State Women's Center, Greeks Going Green, Waste Characterization Study, and many more will be out in the plaza at 10:30. Guest speakers will give presentations beginning at 12 and will include Noel Schulz, KSU 1st lady & TCC Chair, Bruce Snead, Manhattan Mayor & TCC Chair, Zack Pistora, SEA President and more! Finally, a massive all-campus photo will take place at Old Stadium. Everyone will gather there at about 1:15 pm and put into position so, from an aerial view, it will look like a globe! Please remember to wear green or purple for the photo. Participants in this years events will also be put into a drawing for an iPad.We've had highly successful events in past years and would love to have you join us on this day of social justice & environmental awareness!  Last year 25 groups and 500 people attended this event. This year we aim to have 1000 people in attendance... a historical K-State Earth Day!

Once one of the largest lead and zinc mines on the planet, Tar Creek is now home to more than 40 square miles of environmental devastation in northeastern Oklahoma. Acid mine water in the creeks, stratospheric lead poisoning in the children, and sinkholes that melt backyards and ball fields. Now, almost 30 years after being designated for federal cleanup by the Superfund program, Tar Creek residents are still fighting for decontamination, environmental justice, and ultimately, the buyout and relocation of their homes to safer ground.
