April 18th Earth Day Events!

Happy Spring!


Next week is Earth Week and there will be tons of fun shared! Make sure to keep in the loop about Earth Week events on the website: http://earthweek.ucsd.edu/



On Sunday, April 18th there will be three great events you can be a part of~

1. The first is the 6k run (or walk) for water located at the Crown Point on Vacation Island in Mission Bay. They will be signing folks in and registering everyone at the blue roofed gazebo at the North East corner of Crown Point at 10 a.m. The 6k is meant to simulate the average distance girls and women have to walk around the world to get access to water, that usually isn't even clean. Registration is only $5 and the money gets donated to the Global Water Challenge, an organization that works to establish clean drinking systems (a cool little box they've invented) in underdeveloped communities. The intention is to raise awareness around how desperate folks around the world are for water and to remind us how fortunate we are to be able to walk a few steps to our nearest sink or water source when we crave some H20. Here is the website detailing more information about the event where you can also register: http://www.joinliveearth.org/page/signup You can join the Facebook group for the event and spread the word HERE
