Earth Day Celebration, “Going Green 2010,” at JCCC

I agree with Jeremy Clarkson, “If you have a need to some way save the planet, buy a Golf diesel.”

Students in the Student Environmental Alliance at Johnson County Community College are planning an Earth Day Celebration, “Going Green 2010,” from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. April 21 on the college campus.

Participants will staff tables outside the Student Center with information about their organizations. The musical group Glass Axe will perform at 1:00 p.m., and there will be drawings for green gift baskets and a 50-gallon rain barrel from Bridging the Gap.
