Think Outside the Bottle
Tap water challenge to get students to pledge to reduce bottled water use, to raise awareness about the problems with bottled water, and to show that bottled water doesn't really taste any different from tap water.
Write petitions to Pepsi to change the labels for their Aquafina water because they bottle public source water. You can also go here http://www.stopcorporateabusenow.org/stopcorporateabuse/advocacy/mybirdisgreen-644516 and sign the pledge online. If you haven't done it yet, please do it now. It only takes a minute, and reducing plastic waste is a fantastic way to help the planet!!
City Farm
ECO will also begin spring quarter service at City Farm. For those who aren't already aware, this is an urban farm where we help grow organic produce which is then distributed among local restaurants, etc.
