Your goal is to complete at least 1 wellness activity each week from those listed below. Want to do more than one? Please do!
- Activity #1 Keep Odessa College Beautiful Fall Sweep Community Challenge Let's do our part to help keep our slice of Odessa clean! Pick up any trash you see around the Odessa College campus or at any of the OC Extension sites. Find a recyclable item? Recycle it if you can! Every little bit counts in helping the earth and our campus stay beautiful for ourselves, and our students!
- Anytime between Sunday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 9th.
- Activity #2 Professional Clothing Drive It's important to give back, especially when we can help our students prepare for the job world. M.E.S.A. (Math & Engineering) Student Association regularly collects new and/or gently worn professional clothing to give out to our students preparing for job interviews, and job fairs. Donate professional clothing such as shirts, blouses, slacks, skirts, dress socks, blazers, shoes, and jewelry to the OC Sports Center Front Office or Student Life Office anytime during regular business hours to complete this activity!
- Monday, November 4th - Thursday, November 7th 8:00AM - 5:30PM or Friday, November 8th 8:00AM - 1:00PM.
- Activity #3 Conserve Energy The way we utilize energy has a direct impact on our environment, via air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Find a simple way you can lessen your impact on the environment and implement that change whenever possible. Examples of being more energy efficient - Turn off lights when not in the room, adjust your thermostat (especially when you're not home), use cold water when doing laundry, use energy efficient products or switch to clean energy products. Want to measure your impact? Visit the EPA.gov Energy and the Environment website to use their Greenhouse Gas and Carbon Footprint Calculators. You can also get tips on more ways to lessen your impact and save money!
- Anytime between Sunday, November 3rd and Saturday, November 9th.
