VCU Day of Sustainability is October 15th!

VCU's first ever Day of Sustainability is taking place October 15, 2010 from 11am to 3pm. There will be tons of free stuff to do and see, including a recycled sculpture competition, a showcase of sustainable modes of transportation like Segways (with free tours!), Biotaxi, and To the Bottom and Back Bus, and trips to the LEED Platinum Rice Center.

CargoTrike Cupcakes will be on the scene doling out some tasty treats, biodegradable balloons will be flying high, and Backyard Farmers will be on hand to help guests compost and recycle, reducing the event's waste by up to 80%! Lucky participants may get a limited-edition custom designed VCU Sustainability Day t-shirt.
