College to Hold "Earth Day Celebration"

April 9, 2008

The Cerro Coso Community College Associated Students of Cerro Coso (A.S.C.C.) are proud to sponsor an “Earth Day Celebration,” on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. The public is invited.  The day will include a barbecue (food sold by the Coyote Kitchen) and a live band (Crumville).  The celebration will feature tours of Cerro Coso’s Solar Field, the Blue Star Memorial Eco-trail and a Hybrid “Ride and Drive” Car Show.  Information will include a model wind generator and the new Alternative Energy Technician programs at Cerro Coso. 

The Student Conservation Association will be present with brochures highlighting their work locally and nationally.  Indian Wells Valley Water District will have a booth with a variety of literature including “101 Water Wise Ways” and their “Planting Guide for the Indian Wells Valley.”  The Oasis Garden Club will also provide information on gardening in the Ridgecrest Area.  The A.S.C.C. will be giving away compact florescent light bulbs provided by Southern California Edison.  They will also be selling “Chico” Bags (reusable nylon shopping bags in a convenient stuff pouch) and Earth Day T-Shirts. 

Many of Cerro Coso’s Student Clubs will be conducting fund raisers including a computer recycling booth (Students Intrigued by Technology-S.I.T.), Root beer Floats (C.A.R.E.) and Organic Drinks (Coyote Christian Club).  Students will also conduct a “Book Funeral” protesting the unnecessary publication of millions of textbooks that are “revised” annually without substantive changes.  Students will also be taking signatures on various petitions and resolutions related to sustainability.  The celebration will culminate with Dr. Mary Retterer’s signing of the Taillores Declaration, joining other colleges and universities in the commitment to environmental responsibility.

Visit the College for this “Earth Day Celebration” on Tuesday, April 22 from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm.
