“Love Your Planet” event offers eco-friendly service to Flagler students
By Madison Ciklin | gargoyle@flagler.edu
Flagler College students received a convenient and eco-friendly service last Thursday at the second annual “Love Your Planet” event.
The Faculty Senate Sustainability Committee provided extra bike space around campus and the downtown area, as well as a bike valet service to raise carbon-footprint awareness by encouraging students to ride their bike, car pool or walk to campus.
“It’s something that we want people to do every day, but we decided this day would be the awareness raising initiative and that we would offer bike valet since our bike racks are so full,” Director of College Relations for Flagler College, Laura Stevenson-Dumas said.
“People wouldn’t have to park their bikes and it would also look kinda cool if you had a lot of people valeting their bikes.”
However, the bike valet service is a new addition to the event this year.
“Instead of just inviting vendors to campus, we encouraged everybody to bike, walk or carpool some way to get to campus. That way they wouldn’t be using as much energy as they would normally,” Stevenson-Dumas said.
Several vendors including The Hyppo, a popsicle shop on Hypolita Street, set up shop on the sidewalks of the West Lawn to support “Love Your Planet.”
Another vendor, the Lincolnville Farmers Market, provided produce and gifts to promote shopping locally. “That way students don’t have to hop in a car and drive to Publix or somewhere else like that,” Stevenson-Dumas said.
Two students sat at a table posted on the edge of the West Lawn, inviting students over to sign a poster pledging to reduce their carbon footprints.
“It allows people to be creative,” Stevenson-Dumas said with a smile. The poster will later be hung in Kenan Hall.
“Part of our mission is to bring awareness on how people can be more sustainable in their lives and reduce their carbon footprint,” Stevenson-Dumas said.
Hey, I am just in the process of setting up a forum for students, primarily from the United Kingdom, but I imagine that students are very similar the world over. You can check it out, join and help it to grow into a very useful community by visiting http://www.studentrealm.co.uk.

Anybody could experience a swollen eyelid today. There are different causes of swollen eyelids and the following are some of the most common reasons as to why people get them:
I am very impressed with the students learning about how to save the planet, after all its there future we are dealing with.
Students can also help the plant by buying Eco friendly products from the Eco shopping store. There are lots of Eco friendly merchant now that are wanting to help the plant. I am very excited that students are being taught this at school.
I am very impressed that schools now days are teaching students about trying to save the planet, after its their future that will need looking after. Sometimes i think I was the only teacher teaching my students about the environment. My passion is too share my environmental passion with others and show them that we can consume products that are healthy for the planet.
To support your student studies have a look at the Eco Shopping Store where there are lots of merchants providing great Eco friendly everyday house hold products we use.
Well done keep up the great work.

Hi,
A very common perception with weightlifting supplements is that they are unnatural. They are necessary nutrients that typically come from a natural food source. Some people may have deficiency which can cause them to not be able to absorb these nutrients or process them correctly.
