VALDOSTA -- 美高梅博彩 will celebrate the Earth
with a week of events dedicated to preserving the environment.
Blazer 餐厅, operated by Sodexo Campus Services, and Students
Against Violating the Environment (S.A.V.E.) will host a range of
activities to encourage the vs上 community to conserve, recycle and
sustain during the 41st annual Earth Day celebration observed
throughout the world on April 22.
Blazer 餐厅’s Think Green Week
On Monday, April 18, Palms and Hopper 餐厅 Centers will kick off
Sodexo’s Think Green Week with local and organic produce. Eating
the fruits of the local workforce supports the region’s economy and
reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere
because producers travel shorter distances to supply food to
consumers.
Throughout the week, Blazer 餐厅 will sell recyclable mugs at the
sale price of $1.99 (normally $5.99) with the first fountain drink
fill-up for free. Eliminate the need for disposable cups by
purchasing one of these mugs, which are available at Subconnection,
Sky Ranch Grill, Moe’s, Quiznos, Nathan’s and Sustella Market.

From 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., on Tuesday, April 19, Palms 餐厅 Center
will host “Lights Out at Lunch” to demonstrate how much energy can
be saved by cutting off the lights for a few hours. The average
light bulb expends 60 watts of energy per hour, which means that
turning off one light bulb for an hour conserves about 22,000 watts
(enough energy to power a television for one month).
Blazer 餐厅’s resident facilities -- Palms and Hopper 餐厅
Centers -- will “Weigh the Waste” at the end of the day on
Wednesday, April 20, to display the amount of waste produced at the
eateries after one day of operation. Patrons should consider
selecting one entrée at a time to reduce the amount of food they
throw away.
Faculty, staff and students are invited to join Blazer 餐厅 at
the Valdosta Soup Kitchen to provide lunch from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
on Thursday, April 21, at the facility located at 601 North Lee St.
This local effort is part of Sodexo Servathon, a month-long program
that encourages employees to fight hunger in their communities and
to promote awareness of the many families that struggle to put food
on the table.
On Friday, April 22, Palms and Hopper 餐厅 Centers will offer
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead of a meat-based lunch to
reduce dioxide emissions. According to Sodexo, one peanut butter
and jelly sandwich can save 133 gallons of water and 24 square feet
of land (compared to the overall cost to produce a burger). Each
sandwich served will save 2.5 pounds of greenhouse gas
emissions.

Maroney, at 333-7146 or e-mail her at Jennifer.gilbert@sodexo.com.
S.A.V.E地球日庆祝活动
S.A.V.E will host its annual Earth Day Festival from 5-9 p.m. on
Friday, April 22, at Drexel Park, located at the corner of
Brookwood Drive and Patterson Street. Come enjoy live music, food
with vegetarian and vegan options, activities for all ages, and
guest speakers. The event will focus on educating the community
about ways to make Valdosta a more sustainable city.
For more information, call S.A.V.E president Erin Hurley at
