Rush EKO!

Rush EKO Feb 2-5, in pictures:

Above is a photo of your beloved Housing and Dining EcoNauts during fifth week tabling on this day specifically about the $10,000 Green Grant opportunity for students living on campus.

Below are some "graphics" done by Marketing to illustrate the gloom of the growth of our local Miramar Landfill--- reduce, reuse, recycle, restrain.

Below shows some opportunities we provided for students to get more involved.

If you have any questions about Rush EKO or would like to get involved, please do contact us!

Super successful screening of "FRESH" film!!! Thanks for comin out!

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for coming out to our "Fresh" screenings!

We had a screening at the Village tonight.....

It was held at the top floor of the Tower (bldg. 1). So we got to catch an epic sunset!Students from all over campus came out to enjoy this fantastic film, the food that Dining provided, and a chance to mingle with other attendees. : )
The attendees got to check out the EcoNaut's extensive spread of informative posters on our eco-initiatives, sign up to "pledge for the planet", preview our Rush EKO shirts, pick up a "Farm 2 U" farmer's market flyer, and look at a list of San Diego restaurants that incorporate sustainable ingredients in their dishes.
Thanks again to the group of 25 strong that came to the 5:30pm screening, and the handful of students that made it to the second round at 7pm!!

The chance to talk about the film with students was great, and I hope you guys took something away from the experience. : )

Keep inspiring others...

Rush EKO with the EcoNauts, and look out for traveling Farmer's Markets!

Hey everyone!

Want to get involved with the "green" scene on campus? Come out to "Rush EKO" for a week of events happening in January. We will keep you posted!

If you would like to help contribute to the success of the event, please donate your empty plastic water bottles to the EcoNauts! You can drop them off in designated cardboard boxes at The Village laundry mats.

The Villagers do their laundry at "The Launderette" in building 1 and "The Washboard" in building 3.

Thanks guys!! : )

FYI: If you haven't been to any of the farmer's markets on campus, awesome news!

The market is coming to you!!

It'll be a traveling caravan around campus every Wednesday.

Next Wednesday, Jan. 20th, the "farm 2 U" Farmer's Market will take place at The Village transfer housing on campus from 3:00-6:30pm.

It's an event that truly caters to students because you can use your UCSD Dining Dollars at the market! Just another way you can use those meal points to enjoy the fresher things in life. : )

Here are some iconic images of The Village, in case you havn't been there yet, and don't know what to look for.

The Village is North of ERC and Cafe V. So head over to check out some deliciously fresh goodies!

Have a great week, and be good to yourself!
