Remember what you throw out — It ends up in the environment

These fish are really dangerous, and they're everywhere.

In fact, they're probably in your room or house right now.

I know we're supposed to recycle. Sometimes it's inconvenient, sometimes it's impractical. Yet if we don't there's a chance that battery is going to explode and throw toxins into the oceans.

As Students for Environmental Action (SEA) we have to show the dangers of throwing stuff out to the rest of the world.

Each one of us needs to be a spokesman not just for the group, but for the environmentalist movement.

We need to inform ourselves about the issues in the environment — not just stuff that happens locally.

Because, according to the graphic, that local bottle might end up thousands of miles away.

Sustainability Day

The Office of Sustainability hosted Sustainability Day on Wednesday October 22nd. This is a nation wide event held on many college campuses, but this was the first time that Temple University participated. SEA contributed by having a table with Sustainability Trivia. We asked participants three questions on the environment or environmental issues, and those who had two out of three correct won a prize. The polar bear also made an appearance, and grabbed the attention of the passersby along with the bag monster.



SEA also hosted our second farmers' market on Liacouras Walk. We had the same vendors come out, but they all expanded their inventory. We also sold vegan sandwiches from Govinda's. All was a success, except the weather. Business would have been much better if it had not been so cold. If there are more farmers' markets to come, they will hopefully be held inside. The next farmers' markets will potentially be scheduled for November 18th and December 9th, both of which are Tuesdays.


Thanks for coming out it was an awesome day!!!
