Please contact us if you can help with any of these events:

• EarthCorps work party: 10/18. Join us in the U District's Ravenna Park and spend the day hanging out with SEED members and getting dirt under your nails. We need to let EarthCorps know how many people are coming, so please let us know if you're interested, and we will send you more information.
• Staking out the waste stations in 1101 and the 8: Any day, mealtimes / anytime. Most new students are unfamiliar with HFS's composting and recycling system, and many won't bother to learn about it on their own. As a result, during Early Fall Start, contamination was terrible in the compost bins in Lander. We would really like to have SEEDlings stand around the waste stations in 1101 and the 8 at lunch and dinner. If people are about to dump stuff in the wrong container or seem confused by the three-bin process, we will educate them. By shaping people's habits before they're formed, our involvement could affect the success of the program for the rest of the year.
• Tabling in Lander: 10/8 and 10/10, 5:30-7:30 (one-hour shifts) If you haven't heard, HFS has put compost bins on every floor of Lander! We are not putting small compost pails in every dorm room, but we still want them to be an option. We hope to spend some evenings in the Lander lobby with a stack of pails that people can check out.

Here's some of what has gone over the summer and the start of autumn quarter:

• Student Activities Fair: Thursday, September 25th, 10:00-2:30. This Dawg Daze event was designed for clubs to connect with potential new members. We needed people to supervise the SEED table in shifts.
• RA training: Friday, September 12th - we talked to the RA's about composting and recycling so that they could pass the message on to their students at floor meetings.
• P-Patch work party: Tuesday, August 12, 5:30-8:00 - don't forget some munchies for the usual potluck!
• P-Patch work party: Saturday, July 26, 11:00-3:00 - stop by whenever you want during this time frame for some mulching and wheelbarrow-fixing fun. And bring some chow for a potluck lunch.
• P-Patch work party: Friday, June 20, 4:00-8:00 - bring a dish for a potluck dinner.
