Albright Celebrates Earth Week

This week students here at Albright will be celebrating Earth Week. In celebration events such as a movie marathon dedicate to earth movies, days of caring, a go green concert, an Earth Ball, and a go green poster contest sponsored by the Student Government Association are all planned for students to celebrate the environment and going green. SGA Member at Large, Steph Bunce, explains why SGA came up with the poster idea and how Albright being more environmentally friendly is a good thing. Mike Weekley, Vice President of MEISA, the organization co-hosting the go green concert talks about his organizations involvement in Earth Week and why a concert can help raise environmental awareness. Senior Theresa Parrish, a member of the Albright Environmental Action organization that orchestrated Earth Week, talks about why the organization decided to have Earth Week instead of just celebrating Earth Day. Senior Greg Smith explains that he is excited for all of the Earth Week events taking place and that he believes it will be a success. While many students preferred not be videotaped, almost all thought Earth Week and Albright's efforts to be more environmentally conscious were a good thing and were looking forward to this weeks events.
