Tomorrow is the University of Memphis’ Tiger Blue Goes Green day, complete with a Sustainable Design Showcase in the third floor ballroom in the University Center and exhibits on recycling, the campus gardening initiative, and eco-job opportunities on the Student Plaza.
U of M President Shirley Raines will kick off the event at 10 a.m. The Physical plant will display its cost-saving building improvements, but for my money, I wouldn’t want to miss the department of architecture’s “bioplastic lights.”
In addition, the U of M Cycling Club is hosting its first Bike to Campus Day. They are planning several group rides to campus, about two to three miles in length leaving around 9 a.m. and converging on campus at the fountain near the Administration building at 9:30 a.m. To find out more about specific group rides, click on the Facebook page.
- Tell me that bike isn’t Tiger Blue and that other person has gone green! (From South Korea’s Hi Seoul Festival, NOT the U of M.)
Also, if anyone wants to play roving reporter for me tomorrow — I’ll be on deadline — I’m more than open to hearing from volunteers.
