Tuesday afternoon might have been a little cloudy, but students still stopped by Lynn Eusan Park to take part in Sustainability Fest. The festival spread the word about ways in which all can reduce their carbon footprint.

Free snacks, reusable water bottles and reusable totes were available so Coogs could begin living “green” right away. There were also cooking and yoga demonstrations.
