Hello Free the Planeteers!
Last night (1/22) we had our first meeting of the semester. If you couldn't make it, that's alright, because that's what this email is for!
Yesterday we discussed plans to attend the Keystone Pipeline protest in DC and took down names of those who were interested. You can come to our next meeting or email Gabe for more information ([email protected]).
We also learned a bit more about the exciting Panel we (especially Gabe and Bobby) have been helping to plan for February 20th, from 3-5pm in the Great Hall of the Union. The Panel will encompass all of campus' diverse environmental groups and relevant University personnel in order to establish a forum to achieve dialogue between all environmentally-concerned and involved factions of the University. Please come to hear more about what the University is currently doing in terms of environmental initiatives and to engage in a campus-wide discussion! Many important topics will be covered over the course of the event.
Additionally, we bounced around some new ideas from new members (and old!), including further efforts to fight fracking, a partnership with City Farm, and a collaboration of some sort with environmentally-concerned OU students.
Also, heads up, we will be touring a recycling plant at an as yet undecided future date, so get excited!
Our next meeting will be next Tuesday, January 29th at 8pm in University Hall room 51.
