AUBG Environmental Club organized the screening of a series of movies discussing the environmental problems. The initiative started with the screening of the “11th Hour” by Leonardo Di Caprio (read more here) . Originally the meetings were held in Skaptopara II cafeteria, so that people can have dinner while watching, said one of the club leaders, English Professor Penny Thompson. It was also a good place to make the movie nights more noticeable for students. “There was too much noise,” so the meeting place was moved to MPR, explained Professor William Clark. “We have to find a way to attract more people,” commented Thompson on the low number of students attending the meetings and movie screenings. “I think it [the condition of the environment] is an important issue, and I don’t think it gets enough attention,” she explained. Still, Thompson and Clark, as well Lydia Krise and Maria Tzankova, are optimistic about the initiative and hope to engage “students from across the campus,” Thompson said. Professor Clark said that changing behavior is a “slowly developing process” and any new idea requires time to be accepted. Screening movies is not the only activity the club is interested in. “Last semester a recycling campaign was held; in April, we are planning a river clean-up,” professor Clark said. Together with Better Community Club, Environmental Club will organize a number of different events throughout the Environmental Week (April 3-9), such as tree-planting, a round-table discussion, an informational campaign and a movie night. According to Penny Thompson, students suggested a lot of interesting ideas for the environmental campaign. Thompson said she is very happy that many students showed committed attitude. “We are going to create a [long-term environmental] plan for the university”, she said, referring to the Clark’s study of ecological situation at AUBG and the environment-related course he plans to offer. Last week’s movie is “The Trashed” by former teacher Bill Kirkos (read more here) . |
