Promo time!

Hey readers this week there wasn't an MPIRG meeting so I would like to talk about my audio project.

It will be about the consent culture campaign that the Aurora Center at the University of Minnesota is working on. They have produced some merchandise saying "Consent is Sexy." They've got buttons, shirts and even underwear with the slogan on it. It is a good way to not "blame the victim" and say it was the way s/he dressed. Unfortunately I do not have photos of these cloths because they'd rather I waited until they have a marketing plan.

I'm planning to interview the one in charge of the aura center on December 2nd about what they are exactly trying to accomplish with consent culture.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Green

Sorry for the delay everyone!

For this post I will be talking about GREEN WEEK!

Whats green week you say? Well Hannah Withers, our enviromental taskforce leader, suggested that we will bring up a diffrent enviromental issue everyday for one week. Stop by our table from 10am to 1pm each day to gain details as to what issue is highlighed for that day.

The days are as follows:

Monday:  Bottled Water Taste Test

Tusday:  Green Cleaning Supplies

Thursday:  Public Transportation

Friday:  Waste Disposal 

We will have activities too so stay sharp. If you are wondering about Wendsday there is another event going on so we will be unable to table; However On Wendsday we will have a discussion about solar panals off campus.
