To raise awareness, a sculpture will be created from recycled plastic caps. Caps may be recycled at Community Partnerships.
- Trayless Tuesdays and Thursdays are underway in the cafeteria, thanks to Sodexo. If all goes well, beginning April 13, the first day of EARTH Week, the cafeteria will go completely trayless. Significantly less food waste was observed on one of the first Trayless Tuesday.

They are located in Porter Hall, on the second floor near the Babbage Computer lab; in Richardson Hall, on the second floor near the President's office, and in the Community Partnerships office at the corner of Main and Edgemont.
- The Green Bike Program has a waiting list for bikes -- all 10 bikes are currently checked out. Thus, AS&F is considering funding another 10 bikes. The EARTH group thanks AS&F for its support and the Adventure Program for providing the checkout and maintenance of the bikes.
