Well, it’s a fact: midterms, papers and the new US president are taking most of our time. But hopefully starting next week we will have the time and energy to post new content. In the meantime, there are a few things I would like to share with you. First, about two weeks ago, Toronto Sun’s daily newspaper 24hours run an article on student clubs and organization, and we were interviewed on the topic. Although we they don’t have the article online, you can check it out here. Second, it’s never to late to contribute for BlogUT and gain some writing experience. Additionally, you could always add to your resume your experience as a writer, which will improve your overall qualification for any job! :)

If you have an event, story, news, or photo that you would like to get it poste, please feel free to drop us a line!

CAMPUS-WIDE CIGARETTE BUTT CLEANUP!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Leave The Pack Behind is a Health Promotions group on campus that
provides information about tobacco use and cessation support to
students. This month they have embarked upon an Environmental Theme highlighting the effects of cigarette butt litter. LTPB recently participated in the TD Cleanup through oUTreach and have been
surprised by the volume of cigarette butt litter on campus. Cigarette
butts are not biodegradable; are harmful to small animals and lead to
many harmful chemicals being leached into the soil.
Their team is planning a Cigarette butt Clean-up on campus during the
week of Nov 3rd-7th.  Along with volunteers, they would be picking
up and bagging the cigarette butts along St. George Street. They are
also hoping to have residence environmental teams participate by
cleaning up their residences. At the end of the week, they would be
displaying the bags of cigarette butts and holding an awareness event
in the Sid Smith courtyard with the aim of reducing cigarette butt
litter on campus.

They are currently recruiting more volunteers, if you would be
interested in joining please contact them at
leavetheackbehind@gmail.com

When: Nov 3rd-7th- Along St. George Street
Contact Info: Leave the Pack Behind

Here are just some of the reasons why it is important to raise awareness about cigarette butt litter:
