FEATURE: East Lansing's Really Really Free Market

What is a really really free market?
Basically its a place where campus and community can get together and hold a big garage sale without any money exchanged. It is like a big picnic where everyone brings something to share whether that is stuff, food, music, or a talent.

What will happen?
Bring a chair, table, blanket, or all three and something to share!
- meet members of your community
- take a break studying for exams!
- bring your old stuff from the attic or basement and give it away
- give away your stuff instead of throwing it away when you leave MSU
- eat free food (brought by your community members)
- do some spring cleaning/ clean your dorm room before move-out
- get your bike repaired
- bring a dish to pass
- listen to live music and poetry
- bring a talent to perform
- play kickball and other kids games
- pick up some cool free stuff

Make Love Not CO2

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, so why not hold back on a few chocolates and donate $2 to Student Environmental Action Coalition! Or, if you're REALLY awesome, sign up for a monthly donation of 2 dollars – only $24 for the whole year!

All you have to do is go to the following link and fill out the form – it seriously takes five minutes!

My goal is to raise at least $400 for Student Environmental Action Coalition by next Wednesday!!! I'm on SEAC's National Council and our goal this year is to really ramp up our grassroots fundraising so we can be as sustainable and independent as possible.

Your donation will go to support a growing coalition of student environmental organizations that are most notably involved in fighting Mountain Top Removal in Appalachia, oil infrastructure expansion in Detroit and a whole host of local campaigns throughout the North East, Appalachia and the Midwest.

Here's a link to our blog so you can get a little bit of an idea of what's been going on recently: http://www.seac.org/blog

Please send me a message and/or leave a comment on this event page once you've made a donation and let me know how much you donated so I can keep track! I'll send out status reports to let y'all know if I'm on track to meet my goal!
