BIRTHDAY SHOUT-OUT

     Truly a special day when two of our Eco-Reps celebrate their birthdays!  Happy birthday to Olivia, who joins the Hopkins family from the other coastline. A California native, she’s began her college career studying environmental science. She isparticularly interested in agriculture and its relationship with the environment based on geographical location, and specifically in opportunities in urban environments. With all the movement around greening Baltimore and urban farming in Charm City, we hope she puts her passion into practice right in our backyard. You know, when she’s crossed making Johns Hopkins the greenest school around off her list.


     And another birthday shout-out to Stephanie,who hails from Austin, Texas, where the Longhorns reign supreme and sustainability has caught on well. She’s majoring in Material Science and Engineering, and looks forward to turning her long-standing interest and exposure to sustainability into tangible impacts to her university of choice. She once went a day only eating peanut butter to win a bet, so we think she has the brawn for iron-fisting some big time green change at JHU.  Be sure to recycle today to help these two lovely ladies celebrate!


Green Lacrosse Game

This past week has been busy on campus with exams, spring fair and our very first green lacrosse game!  The game was a success and we had our green mascot running around reminding everyone to recycle their waste!

BIRTHDAY SHOUT-OUT!

Happy Birthday to our very own Noah Erwin! Noah is an important member of our Housing and Dining Task Force! A native of Tennessee, he plans to major in Global Environmental Change and Sustainability. In addition to his ECO-Rep duties, he is also involved with Real Food Hopkins, a student-run chapter of the national Real Food Challenge movement committed to bringing local, sustainable, humane, and fair food to the Johns Hopkins campus. Noah also likes to kick things when he’s not toiling away at saving the environment, but he mostly keeps it to soccer balls, but we do expect he’ll kick some sustainability butt during his time at Johns Hopkins.

Be sure to wish him happy birthday if you see him around campus!

Did you know?!

Did you know that 90% of waste produced on campus goes to the incinerator?  Before you throw something out, think about where it's going!
