Earth Day celebration brings campus, local and national groups

Several dozen campus, local and national organizations came out to the UA Mall Friday to celebrate nature conservation as part of annual Earth Day activities. The University of Arizona Horticultural Club took part by selling various potted plants. "Basically, we grow stuff and sell it," said Nathan McIntyre, an astronomy and archeology freshman. "And we've sold a bunch today." The UA Department of Residence Life held a recycled materials art competition, which drew four entries and resulted in an even four-way tie - with all of the artists splitting the $50 prize. Various local organizations were also participants in the fair. Mark Williams, an employee of the Food Conspiracy Co-Op, 412 N. Fourth Ave., handed out various foods, including navel oranges and energy drinks.    [More]
