Muirstock was sooooo fun! Students had a blast in the Muir Quad just hanging out and having fun with bubbles provided by the EcoNauts. : )

Kim had her game face on for one of the many Muirstock activities, as she shot a recyclable item in what else but....a recycling box!As Kim would say, "Success."


Keep coming out in force Tritons! You're too much fun. : )

Muirstock

Muirstock is one of the largest events held on campus and is hosted by Muir and their Reslife. This year's Muirstock was excellent. As a closing for Earth Week it happened on Friday (today).

The beginning (2-5 p.m.) was lots of student orgs, the reslife, and hdh tabling goodies and fun things.

The Muir Commuter lounge gave away free hot chocolate, and talked about their upcoming event making mugs. HDH gave away Toby bags and helped sponsor the free Muirstock bags this year; we also gave out awesome Toby tattoos.

There were 2 booths for face painting, a recycle give away, rock band contest, hat making booth, and free hamburgers, chips and soda. All the while people were smiling laughing and learning ab

out the environment in small subtle ways.

Around 5:30 the first band went on stage. From their it was music and delight.

Earth Week adventures!

Hey Tritons,

Earth Week has been a good time!
I ventured over to the Marshall Lowers last weekend (Sun. April 18th) to check out the cool trial run of the laundry racks being funded by HDH's very own Green Grants! woohoo

The lovely interns from Green Campus, Susan Kram and Jennifer Hull, had the event at Marshall RA, Jennifer Truong's apartment.


The event was a success, as residents from six Marshall apartments came by to collect their laundry racks. Two racks were designated per apartment, and by the end of the quarter, the Green Campus reps will send the recipients a survey asking for feedback regarding their experience using the racks.This is just another great way that HDH is helping to fund the many ways UCSD students want to green the campus, and impact the lives of their peers.



In other news, in case you guys missed it, there was a massive trash sort in Town Square this last Monday (April 19th) stemming from UCSD's Recyclemania results.

Videos: UCSD kicked off its annual Earth Week festivities with students digging through more than 1,000 pounds of trash to demonstrate how much could have been recycled.

The photo below is the aftermath of the sort.
Krista Mays, Truman Mak, and Kimberly Tran took a breather after an intense day that lasted from before 8am until after 12pm.
We collected bag after bag of recyclable material from the trash sort as seen here in the blue bags by Truman's feet.
I was proud to represent The Village, being that they placed first out of all six colleges, with a Recyclemania waste diversion rate of 31%.


The Earth Day pre-party went down today in Price Center East! The EcoNauts were out celebrating the Earth, while rockin our tye-dye Ts and "EcoNaut Approved" tats.

We had bubbles, face paint, temporary tattoos, and Recyclemania results!! woohoo
If you guys happened to be at any of these events, tell me what you thought of them!
