I’ve spent too many blog posts discussing my Go Green public relations campaigns class to not invite you to our fabulous Captain Planet Carnival on Earth Day next Tuesday!

Captain Planet himself will make an appearance at Tate between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. as we celebrate according to the “Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart” theme. Various environmental student groups will host games such as recycle toss and magnet fishing, plus they’ll paint your face with your favorite earth image. We’ll also have give-aways including green cotton candy, compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and bananas! UGA departments will also be on hand to show everyone what they’re doing to advance the state of sustainability at UGA. Come around noon to hear Athens Clarke County Mayor Heidi Davison speak!

The Earth Day team has been working extra hard to ensure that this carnival is a success, and I really hope to see you there! I’ll be one of the ones in a tie dye shirt.
