My friend Jill organized a sweater swap for &#8220;National Sweater Day&#8221;. The idea is to turn your thermostat down just a little bit and wear a sweater instead to conserve energy!<\/p>\n<p>We set up a table where people could bring in their gently-worn sweaters to trade. A local thrift shop (Phase 2) got us started with some sweaters to start off the day. I traded in one of my sweaters (a soft yellow hoodie) for a black cardigan with grey cuffs and then helped Jill out for the afternoon shift. I think Jill did a great job with this event- I think it touched on a lot of ideas and initiatives students on campus are passionate about like recycling, environmental conservation, thrifting and not to mention saving a little money on your utilities bill! <\/p>\n<p>Seeing Jill get interviewed by the Whig Standard was really cool for me, as I know how much the success of this event meant to her! The photographer was also extremely nice and professional. Jill and I look a bit silly here, the photographer kept telling us to look at each other and laugh! Interesting photography technique- I usually just ask people to say &#8220;cheese!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.thewhig.com\/2013\/02\/07\/sweater-event-all-about-the-environment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a successful event!
