Happy Earth Day!

Hello Everyone!!

HAPPY EARTH DAY! Today is a day to go green! Keeping the environment clean is a way to keep all citizens healthy and promote a happy community! University of Tampa is a university that regularly recycles. Recycling bins in all computer labs for extra papers and scrapes that can be reused. UT also has 2 single stream recycling bins around campus for cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and aluminum cans. There are a total of 30 different places on campus where you can dispose of recyclable materials. It's great to see UT trying to Go Green with the help of all the students! The IT department has come up with some helpful tips for students on how to conserve paper! Here is the link: http://www.ut.edu/technology/labs/printing/

All around the Tampa Bay area, going green has become a big thing! Keeping the area nice and clean will hopefully attract more people to our beautiful city! Every Friday, there is a Farmer's Market in Downtown Tampa from 10am til 2pm. Local growers come with their fresh produce as well as other unique, organic items such as homemade treats and jewelry. Here is a link to check out all the cool vendors! http://www.tampadowntownmarket.com/index.html

Citizens of St. Petersburg are also into the environment! This weekend is the 24th annual Green Thumb Festival at Walter Fuller Park in St. Petersburg. With tons of exhibits and environmental programs, the festival is aimed to please people from ages 9 to 99. Here is the link to check it out! http://www.stpete.org/parks/greenthumb.asp
