Let’s Get Growing! Thursday, March 19, 6:00-8:00pm

PSU is putting together a sustainability pledge for the campus. We want to include the social element of sustainability since most pledges focus only on environmental or economic sustainability. This gathering will develop some actions or behaviors that students, faculty, and staff can pledge to adopt to make PSU and Portland a more socially sustainable, fair, and equitable place for all. Led by Emily E. Bowling, Graduate Assistant for First Year Experience, Office of Residence Life, and Noelle Studer-Spevak, Sustainability Manager, FADIM, PSU.

March 21st, 2009, is Jump Start the Economy Day. If every adult in the US spends at least $5 extra on 3/21/09, 1.2 billion dollars will be added to the economy. People are really stressed and worried right now; this small step would show that we are all in this together, and that we can make a difference. For the biggest impact, the extra money should be spent as locally as possible, and preferably on something intangible, like a service.

Pay someone else to mow your lawn; leave a bigger tip at the restaurant; get a manicure; if you usually just buy a cup of coffee, get a muffin with it. There are lots of ways to spend the money, but for the greatest impact it needs to be EXTRA, something you wouldn't normally buy.

April 11th, come run or walk and raise money for MEJOR Communities' project "Empowering Youth through Health Leadership" in Peru!

There will be three categories (runners, walkers and family), of which the first three finishers in each category will win a prize. Dogs and strollers will be welcome, and there will be live music!
