Students and volunteers with Deep Roots Community Garden give away seedlings for Earth Day 2015.
Earth Day 2015 was pretty awesome around Shoreline’s campus, with free grilled veggies from Patty Pan Cooperative and a seedling giveaway at the Deep Roots Community Garden. We also had a ton of great speakers and student learning about advocacy during Amp Your Voice, and had a great turn out for the Earth Day showing of the 1973 film “Soylent Green.”
Earth Week continues Thurs., April 23 with more awesome activities. Check out these fun events around campus today:
