Earth Day at Purdue

As an 'enviro' Purdue grad, I have a few suggestions that may help Anthony.  When I was part on the Purdue Environmental Science Club we did various things that appealed to different individuals during Earth Day/Week events.  We held energy awareness gatherings that focused on (among other things) the energy efficient lighting in the PMU. We held panel discussions with professors from various departments (everything from political science to economics). We invited speakers from various groups from activists to a professor from the Christian Theological Seminary.  I would also suggest getting in contact with the Lafayette Peace Coalition.  While they may have some different perspectives and goals, they may be able to help with organizing. I also know of some Professors that may be able to help - if you read this and are interested let me know. Also try to get Grad students involved, they tend to be more motivated and have better connections. So good luck and don't be afraid to reach out to people or organizations that you think may not be receptive - I think that you may be surprised. The more groups you have involved with the Earth Day events the more likely it will be a success.  Thank you for keeping the movement alive at Purdue!
