Ride Your Bike to School Day is an event to build community among those who currently ride their bicycles to school and to encourage those who do not yet. The goal is not intended to be just a one day
event, but a vehicle for greater transportation change. Ride your bike to school on Earth Day 2008 April 24th, and free yourself from the negatives of car culture: the rudeness, the rush, the anger, the
stress and the cost of gas!

Sustainability Week at SJSU is coming up April 21-24, 2008. There will be speakers, movies, and workshops on every aspect of the environment, including a Business and the Environment panel, a Native Plants workshop, and an Environmentalism for Dummies seminar. We welcome any and all SJSU students, faculty, staff, and friends to these events.

Earth Day will be the finale to Sustainability Week and will be held on the 7th Street Plaza from 10:00am to 3:00pm on April 24, 2008. There will be dancers, food, crafts, a BBQ, a petting zoo, games, and organizations to get involved with.
