This is a week of events organized by the Student Environment Centre resource group at UBC, with the goal of setting up responsible consumption opportunities and showing how you too can think responsibly when it comes to what you buy and use! It’s also a good time to break from the rut of school work and have …fun in various green activities!
Here is the schedule of events for Responsible Consumption Week 2011:
Stuff Swap:
ALL DAY EVERY DAY!
Monday-Tuesday (inside the SUB) and Wednesday-Friday (SUB south entrance)
– Do you have stuff lying around that you don’t want or need? Don’t want to throw it out? You can bring out your old clothes and unwanted treasures to swap them with others at the Stuff Swap booth all day every day of the week! We will also be collecting e-waste/batteries which we will recycle for you!
Threads Workshop:
12:30pm-2:00pm
Monday March 7th inside SUB room 207/209
– Learn how to knit simple dishcloths and repair your old and ripped clothing. Feel free to come by at any time during the workshop and we’ll get you started. You can bring an article of clothing to work on or just come out and practice. If you are knitting, there will be a deposit of $3 if you need to borrow knitting needles outside of workshop time.
Scavenger Hunt:
11:00am-3:00pm
Thursday March 10th at the Stuff Swap booth (SUB south entrance)
– Participate in our Responsible Consumption scavenger hunt and you could win a $20 MEC gift certificate! Create a team of up to three people, e-mail us at enviro@ams.ubc.ca or come by the Stuff Swap table anytime between Monday and Thursday morning, and go on a hunt!
Wrap-Up Potluck:
4:00pm-7:00pm
Friday March 11th in the Resource Center upstairs in the SUB
– End off Responsible Consumption Week with a potluck! Come by and bring some green (literally or otherwise) food to share, and watch the scavenger hunt awards get passed out! We will also be watching Wall-E, hanging out and wrapping the week up with good times!
