The student organizations at Cumberland University are gearing up to start a green revolution on our campus. The Pre-Professional Society and the BBB Biological Honor Society have teamed up in this mission to make our student body and our community more environmentally conscious. With this ideal in mind, the two organizations wanted to make a donation to a foundation called the Looking Out Foundation which serves to support environmental organizations whom uphold the goal of taking care of the Earth. The foundation has supported such groups as the Captain Planet Foundation, Honor the Earth, Reverb, and Yele. In order to make our donation, we are gaining the support of local businesses. In return for a donation, we will be displaying the business name and/or logo on a banner on our campus. The banner will be titled: “Your Community Cares About Being Green”. In this manner we want to influence our students that it does matter and it is cool to “go green” by showing them that the community businesses care.
