Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Sustainability, is the name of the game for LB's Green Club. Green Club and the Horticulture Club, will team up to host the Earth Day Sustainability Fair, April 22. The fair, will be held in the campus courtyard from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The goal? To raise awareness, educate the campus community, and transfer the education to community.
Green Club reformed this year, “Hoping to get student's involved and generate more interest,” says Lori Fluge-Brunker, the club's advisor. This year, Green Club has made recycling information more available, teaching students what can and can't be recycled.
“We are all committed to seeing more sustainable actions around campus,” says Coquille Rex, student representative.

Rex said, “Living a simpler life, can extend our resources for generations to come, as well as making more resources available now.”
Sustainability includes more than just recycling. Reusing materials and reducing our consumption of natural resources is key. The club's mission statement says it all, “We are students committed to making our campus greener and to inspire our campus community to take these initiatives home and spread the word.”
