Retrofitted Bike, T-shirt Stenciling, and Frisbee Giveaway (Cross Campus, 11 am-3 pm)
Bring a t-shirt to Cross Campus and get it stenciled with an original Earth Day 08 logo to show how much you love Earth Day. You don't really want to go to class anyway--stay outside and play with a free 100% recycled YSEC Frisbee. And while you're there, check out our stationary bike retrofitted to make power instead of using it.

Come eat s'mores outdoors while listening to the sweet sounds of Tangled Up in Blue and hanging out with Yale Outdoors + YSEC.

Workday and Pizza at the Yale Farm
Across from 340 Edwards St. (walk up Prospect and make a right on Edwards), 3-5:30 pm
Join YSEC for an afternoon workday at the Yale Farm followed by pizza fresh from the brick oven! If you haven't made it to the farm (or tried the pizza), this is a great way to spend a Friday afternoon outside. We'll leave from Dwight Hall at 2:40, or meet us at the farm anytime!
