Join the Vassar Greens!
As we start a brand new year here at Vassar College, this is a little reminder to remember the Greens when you think about how you want to spend your free time this year. As environmental conservation picks up as a major concern politically, socially, and globally, being a part of the movement will help you stay at the forefront of this growing phenomenon. While helping the Greens create real and permanent change on Vassar’s campus and in the greater Poughkeepsie community, you’ll gain a broader understanding of the current environmental issues facing the world, particularly for our generation. This knowledge is invaluable in terms not only for your own personal growth, but also for your growth as a responsible citizen of this planet. Global climate change and environmental conservation crosses all political, geographical, generational, and racial borders because it effects all of us, perhaps not equally, but in some way, and will be a major topic for decades to come.
Please join the Vassar Greens in this global movement and do your part, however small, to contribute to the betterment of your school, your community, and your planet.
The Vassar Greens will be tabling at the activities fair this Sunday from 12:30-3PM. Visit our table and sign up for our mailing list. Or sign up right on this website (click here).
Also, be sure to check out our first meeting of the year, this WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH at 7PM in the Villard Room. Get involved in some of our exciting campaigns, such as Tap That, which made huge strides last year towards it’s goal of banning bottled water on campus, or our Zero Waste campaigns, which opened the Free Store last year (opening again soon!) and worked with community groups within Poughkeepsie to deal with Dutchess County’s solid waste management program.
There are endless opportunities to get involved and hold leadership positions within the Vassar Greens, so come to our first meeting of the year, this WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7TH at 7PM in the Villard Room.
See you there!
The Vassar Greens, Spring 2011
