Green tip of the week from your ECO-ST. Lo, your local
environ-
ment group. Announcement: April 18-22 is Earth Week at St. Lawrence! Many special events are planned, including guest speakers and consciousness-raising contests, featuring such green individuals as Fred Martin, Emilie Lacasse and Helene Binette! Stay tuned for more...At St. Lawrence, it's easy being green! Green tip of the week from ECO-St.Lo, your local environment group! Many of us feel that what we do -or don't do-is insignificant. Yet here at St. Lawrence, and everywhere else, there are many humanitarians, young and old alike, who are working to promote positive change. A former student, Elliot Verreault, has found a way to bring together unsung humanitarians everywhere through his one humanity project. Among other things, Elliot is a tireless worker for climate justice. His project is a Facebook for humanitarians. And the humanitarians are...YOU! Look at Elliot's online involvement: His website: www.elliottverreault.com His humanitarian network: www.itsonehumanity.org Other website he is involved with: www.beginswithfood.com Videos on his involvement in activism, including Cancun COP 16 http://www.elliottverreault.com/ACTIVISM.html His speech at UN youth summit, introduced by Desmond Tutu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj9gs-DEJ1c
