For Immediate Release Tiffany Jenise, President of the Georgia Perimeter College's  Earth Club, was pinning up flyers for the upcoming Recycled Bag Day, “We’re really looking forward to a great turn out next week.” She bent down to pick up a balled up scrap of paper and tosses it in the recycling bin. “We’re trying to get over 200 students to sign the petition so that our own GPC campus will be more green.” The Recycled Bag Day event will be held outside the Clarkston campus in the N- Building on October 13 from 12-4 p.m. Students will be encouraged to sign petitions to stop using plastic bags here on campus. They will also be invited to design their own recycled bags that they can take when they go shopping. Look forward to other Earth Club proposed events including a Water Safety and Conservation Seminar, the creation of a Community Garden and a Compost Education Seminar. For more information contact Pricilla Dodds, advisor of Earth Club at pdodds@gpc.edu. -# # # - Georgia Perimeter College, the third largest institution of the University System of Georgia, serves more than 26,000 students through four campuses and several sites in metro Atlanta.
