Every Day is Earth D«
Today marks the 29th celebration of environmental awmm^
BY MARIUM MOHIUDDIN
The Battalion
E arth Day has been celebrated for almost 30
years, with communities all over the United
States getting involved.
Earth Day was first started by Dennis Hayes in
1970.
“[Hayes] was an undergraduate student at
Stanford, and he and a few students would check
out all the congressmen who would vote pro/con
on environmental issues,” Mallika Anand, presi
dent of Texas Environmental Action Coalition and
a junior German major, said. “They called them
[the congressman] ‘The Dirty Dozen,' and from
there, it grew. ”
Lisa Whittlesey, extension program specialist
with the Horticulture Sciences Department, said
Earth Day was set aside as a celebration of our
planet.
“It is a time to be more aware of our planet and
be more environmentally friendly,”
Whittlesey said. “It is the air we breath, the wa
ter we drink and the food we eat; these all come
from the Earth. It is a time to be more aware of
our surroundings and be thankful. Learn more
about it and to take care of it because it might not
be around for us to enjoy. We have to take care of
our planet.”
April 22 was chosen as Earth Day by the En
vironmental Protection Agency.
Melanie Krause, co-chair of Environmental Is
sues Committee (EIC) and a senior genetic and
biochemistry major, said there was no specific
reason April 22 was chosen.
“[It] was a random day,” Krause said. “In
Texas, it happens to correspond with Arbor Day,
which is also in the end of April. This day is for
people to be more aware of trees. ”
In 1991, A&M Earth Week was first started by
the EIC, a committee affiliated with the Student
Senate.
• Using nuclear power to avert global warming by the year
2025 would require that a new nuclear power plant be
built every 2.5 days
• If everyone in the United States us' sulat-
ed windows, the nation would save more off anti nat
ural gas each year than Alaska supplies annually
• Switching all light bulbs to more <
bulbs would eliminate the need for all
plants in the United States.

Jennifer Weizer, sub-chair of EIC and a sopho
more aerospace engineering major, said they will
be hosting a variety of events.
“There will be activities to get students and the
campus involved and to provide them with in
formation,” Weizer said. "This is a great organi
zation because we are a part of student govern
ment and can implement things. We also inform
students and want them to learn more about the
environment.”
Some of the games include Wheel of Waste, in
which students have to answer
recycling or waste products, an:
Shoot, in which students stom:
shoot them into a basket.
Krause said the goal of Earth .i

“We want to get people out to
pick up some information about^
It is not just recycling, there are:,
pects that we are trying to promote
to he a ware of such things as m
and water conservation."
A big part of Earth Week incii:
The recycling program at A&Mh-

Tom Marshall, crew leaderfe

“We basically pick up anythire

“A latge amount of the studero
