Environment Week at UTM

March 19th, 2007 by Jiayi

With weeklong activities like worm composting workshops and bike races, the folks at UTM are greening it up. Watch out Earth Day – there’s a new gunslinger in town!

This almost makes me want to shell 12 bucks for the shuttle bus to check out all the festivities. Some highlights:

- 4 km bike race around the campus with UTM BikeShare supplying bicycles for those unfortunate enough to be caught without one.
- A walking tour showcasing the natural and cultural history of the UTM campus
- Seminars from the creator of the ecological footprint concept and survival specialist Pierre Blin
- EcoJeopardy!
- A weeklong recycling raffle

Full details can be found at the environment week website. They also have a facebook group.

When: March 19 – to March 23
Where: UTM campus
How: Directions for everyone stuck downtown.

   [...] may not have taken to time bus all the way down to UTM to take part in their Environment Week, but that’s understandable. Not to worry, this week, we have an environment week going on at [...]

   With all due respect, “Environment Week,” worm composting, bike races, recycling raffle… The only way that anything is going to change for the better, with respect to the environment and the human condition, is to elect new leadership… leadership with a twin action focus: peace and sustainability. All the rest is just static. We don’t have time for static. I’ve just produced a program… crazy and bizarre… but focused on the power of college students. The power to sway any election… every election… towards leaders who will only have this twin action focus, PEACE and SUSTAINABILITY… Check it out. Think about it. Act on it. The earth is in your hands and talk talk talking about things is the slow motion/ain’t gonna happen approach to the problems. Only by firing the people in charge and hiring a new guard, with a new paradigm about how to live on this planet, are things going to change. TireOldMan.NET
