IMSA’s own modern embodiments of Thoreau, Emerson, Leopold, and Muir, IMSA’s Club Verno, can be found year round roaming the gardens and greenhouses on campus. However, during the celebratory week of\u00a0April 22nd through April 26th, they will be found behind every plant and garbage can littered with plastic water \u00a0bottles around main building ready to\u00a0educate the student body about Earth Week.<\/p>\n
Club Verno board members have been working very hard in preparation for IMSA’s Earth Week celebration this year. The Verno board planned simple, easy ways for the student\u00a0body to join the global movement of “going green” during Earth Week.<\/p>\n
The schedule for Earth Week at IMSA is as follows: Tuesday – Waste Management<\/strong> Tuesday Afternoon- Campus Cleanup<\/strong> Thursday – Be Seen with your Canteen (Day 1)<\/strong> Friday – Be Seen with your Canteen (Day 2)<\/strong> “Thanks for your interest! We hope you are as excited about Earth Week as\u00a0we are,” said Kottkamp and Verno board members.<\/p>\n # IMSA’s own modern embodiments of Thoreau, Emerson, Leopold, and Muir, IMSA’s Club Verno, can be found year round roaming the gardens and greenhouses on campus….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":9656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1019],"tags":[1411,1793],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-9644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-imsanews","tag-club-verno","tag-earth-week"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9644"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9644\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9647,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9644\/revisions\/9647"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9644"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=9644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nMonday – Meatless Monday<\/strong>
\nThere will be a table outside of the Sodexo lunch line advocating the benefits of a meatless diet for 1 or more days each week.\u00a0Vegetarian recipes will be available for all students interested. Students will be able to sign a banner pledging not to eat meat on Mondays.<\/p>\n
\nA table outside of Sodexo will display the effects of different types of waste (from packaging to compost) and
\nthe time it takes for each type to break down.<\/p>\n
\nA campus clean-up will begin promptly at 4:20 at the flag pole, weather permitting. Bags and gloves will\u00a0be provided. It is advised to wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. According to Brooke Kottkamp, Club Verno President, “Bring lots of\u00a0friends and you will hopefully enjoy some nice spring weather as well!”<\/p>\n
\nClub Verno representatives will be roaming around with cameras during midday, asking\u00a0any students with a canteen whether they would like to have their picture taken.<\/p>\n
\nDuring midday, there we will be a Powerpoint slideshow running, with all of the\u00a0pictures taken from the day before, along with slogans advocating for the use of\u00a0reusable water bottles.<\/p>\n
