| Transcript | NOV20 09 GREEN UH DAY Campus community makes effort to go green By Darlene Campos On Nov. 5, the second annual Green UH Day was held at the University Center and the Lynn Eusan Park. The day was devoted to spreading awareness on how to recycle, improve air quality and help the environment. The event culminated in the launch of a weather balloon in front of the EzekielW. Cuiien Building. "We're trying to raise awareness about going green on the UH campus," Maria Honey, marketing manager for University Services, said. "The most interesting part of Green UH Day would probably be the weather balloon. What the weather balloon is going to do is measure the air quality. We're trying to see if our efforts in recycling and pollution reduction have made a difference in our carbon footprint. We're gathering data today to see if in 2029 our air quality has improved." The Environmental Club provided guests with flowers planted in biodegradable pots. "You don't even have to take (the flowers) out of the pots. The pots will go right back into the earth," biology senior Scott Allen said. "This year, (Green UH Day) has evolved into a much bigger event because we are celebrating the successes that were started last year," Assistant Vice President for University Services Emily Messa said. "Green UH Day began last year to kick off the University's conversation on being green. The event was launched and successful due to contributions by many at UH." UH Information Technology Services shared ways on how to properly recycle and how to save on power usage. "One of the easiest things you can do with your computer is changing your power option. Just look on your control panel, click on power options and see which option works best for you. And if you're not using your computer, simply shut it off," Steve Arnold, an Information Technology staff member, said. "If you have scrap electronics, please dispose of them properly. The City of Houston has three locations that accept electronic recycling such asVCRs, computers, monitors and cell phones. It is free of charge for Houston residents." Simple changes to our lifestyles benefit the environment around us and most of all, the city we call home. ■ (top) A student participates in papier mache bowling at Lynn Eusan Park for Green UH Day.
