Biological Sciences sharing Earth Day message with students

April 22, 2010

Mississippi State University's Department of Biological Sciences is marking the 40th anniversary of Earth Day today by handing out reusable grocery bags to nearly 1,000 undergraduate majors in biological sciences (BIO), medical technology (MDT) and microbiology (MIC). The bags are made of 85% recycled cotton, and designed to encourage reduced use of plastic bags, re-use of the bags at least once per week and recycling.

Students from Alpha Epsilon Delta, Beta Beta Beta and the American Medical Student Association will hand out these reusable grocery bags to BIO, MDT and MIC undergraduate majors today on the Drill Field in front of Allen Hall from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students must present their student ID and be on the departmental list of majors.
