SF Green Fest Recap

Members of e3 and Green Love attended San Francisco's Green Festival on November 12th-15, which was the nation's largest green festival since 2002. At Green Festival, a joint project of Global Exchange and Green America, they celebrate what’s working in our communities—for people, business and the environment. Every year there are five Green Festival's in the country, in San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Chicago and Washington DC. This was a great educational experience, full of networking, guest speakers and brainstorming ideas for SDSU's Green Fest which will be held this Earth Week, April 19th-23rd.

Save The Ales Beer Garden Update #1

e3 has just been approved by President Webber to host Save the Ales Beer Garden at our 2010 Earth Day event at SDSU. The logistics are still in the works but our plan is to have local, organic finger food (to eliminate the use of plates and utensils), as well as educational booths outside of the beer garden so students can inform themselves about different issues. There will also be a Root Beer garden for those under 21 years old. Please read our previous post on this Blog for more information, or email us and we'll forward you the resolution.

OB Beach Cleanup & BBQ

On October 18th, e3 hosted a beach cleanup in Ocean Beach. We would like to thank everyone who came out.
