Associated Students sponsored Earth Fair on the Bayramian Lawn with food, prizes, games and music.

Students celebrated mother earth by playing games geared toward recycling and confessing their ungreen sins.

“I’m happy that CSUN is having an Earth Fair. It’s nice to see students get involved,” psychology major Katie McInerney, 22, said.

Student involvement was one of Associated Students main goals.

“This year we tried to make it more interactive,” Katie Schmitt, A.S. graduate assistant for programming said.

Schmitt said that environmental affairs committee has a booth where students can go on camera and confess their unsustainable practices. Afterward they write their sin on a leave and turn it in for an A.S. bag.

“With the plastic ban we’re trying to replace them all with A.S. and CSUN bags,” Schmitt said.

There were a variety of booths regarding outdoor activities like mountain biking and volunteer organizations such as Habitat for Humanity.

Interior design major Rina Velasco, 21, was working the CSUN Habitat for Humanity booth trying to find students who wanted to volunteer to build homes for veterans. She was also promoting one of the organization’s green programs.

“At Habitat we’re really big on recycling. With our program restore you can buy or donate furniture to one of our facilities,” Velasco said.

The loud music from the fair’s DJ alerted students to the event.

“I came because it sounded like a party,” said Darlin Alvarado, 23, senior sociology major Darlin Alvarado.

Alvarado was one of many students waiting in line for a free airbrush tattoo.

“I’m definitely going for something with flowers,” Alvarado said.

Campus Recycling Services offered students the chance to make their own wallet out of magazines.

Even though the snacks provided by A.S. ran out students could still buy a refreshing treat at the shaved ice booth.

There were other opportunities for students to spend their money aside from snacks.

Numerous booths were set aside for students to buy hats, clothes, jewelry and posters.

As part of an AT&T student marketing campaign,  business graduate student Joseph Amaral, 26, was handing out bags and pens with a hashtag on it telling students to submit photos as part of their Define Your Moment campaign.

Students with the best picture win a pair of headphones.

Amaral was also promoting AT&T’s green initiatives like telecommuting which would mean less cars on the road polluting the air.

“They’re using recycled plastic for phones and accessories,” Amaral said.
