Dear readers,
Everyone (all of the Texas A&M kids) is headed back to Bryan and College Station to begin another semester at Texas A&M University and Blinn College. Football's behind us and we have a great spring semester to look forward to.
There's a lot of housekeeping going on since the dorms opened on Wednesday, and I want to tell our students and remind our residents that the City of College Station is beginning their series of Green Mini-Seminars tonight (Friday) with a presentation on how to Green your home or dorm.
Here is a list of the seminars offered during the spring semester, straight from the City of College Station's Green Website.
Jan. 15 - Green Your Home or Dorm
Representatives will talk to residents and students about all aspects of the home and how it can be green or eco-friendly, also touching on how eco-friendly materials do not have to be costly or something you buy.
Feb. 12 - Recycling Markets and Economics
Why doesn't College Station recycle green glass or other items? Representatives from Texas A&M University, Texas Commercial Waste and others will talk about actual market rates and costs.
Mar. 12 - Organic and Local Foods
What is the difference and why does it matter? Local farmers and grocers will talk to residents about why it is important to buy locally and how organic foods can help your health.
Apr. 9 - Green Living
This session will tie in with "Greening your Home or Dorm," what you do after you have decked your home with green stuff: recycling, re-using, reducing, donating, conserving water.
May 14 - Environmental Volunteering
Those who need volunteers in the recycling field will be available for a meet and greet.
June 11 - Meet the Professionals
Visit with the area's top professionals in recycling, sustainability and water conservation. Professionals will talk about the aspects of their job and take questions. The session will be very informal, very relaxed and very informative!
Where? The new Public Works Office located on the 2nd floor of the College Station Municipal Court on Krenek Tap Road at 6 p.m.
There are many green hints on the City's Green Website, as well as the City's White Paper and Action Plan for the Green College Station Initiative.
