I am extremely excited to announce the 14th Annual Bellevue College Earth Week<\/strong> taking place April 22nd-26th, 2013<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The theme for this year is \u201cLiving in a Changing Climate\u201d<\/strong>, giving the SSA, Science Division and the Office of Sustainability a flexible and pressing issue on which to base this year\u2019s events. With a changing world, both environmentally and politically, it is the perfect framework on which to communicate the complicated issues we will face over the course of our lives, while hopefully providing solutions that will create a culture of hope and awareness moving forward. Earth Week is a time in which the entire campus engages in a conversation about the environment. To help that conversation along, we work to provide engaging events to help spark interest and create the dialogue needed to find solutions. Earth Week kicks off on Monday, April 22 with an exciting look at electric vehicles. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. an EV car and bike show will take place in the central courtyard, featuring plug-in electric vehicles from companies such as Tesla and Nissan. At 9:30 a.m., local weather guru and University of Washington professor Cliff Mass will present an informative talk about the impacts of global warming on the Northwest. Other events include:<\/p>\n
