Residents "Marched" out for chili!

On Wednesday, November 9th at 6 PM, over 70 residents enjoyed a sustainable experience in the Big Backyard behind Galloway at the HRL Sustainability Committee hosted event, "Chili Night in November."

The event kicked off with several "green" trivia questions which included facts about both UNCW and the publics' efforts in being sustainable. Correct answers to these trivia questions earned awesome prizes such as t-shirts, water bottles, and vouchers for movie tickets!

you could win by attending a Sustainable program!

"Chili Night" continued with- you guessed it!- CHILI! Various kinds of chili were served in bread bowls with limited usage of dinnerware made from recycled products...all fit for a green meal! If you missed this event, you should probably be aware of the fact that you missed hot apple cider made from local vendors as well (sad day!).

Attendees also enjoyed a special viewing of March of the Penguins on a huge, inflatable screen! This documentary, narrated by Morgan Freeman, highlights the lifestyle of penguins and also addresses problems occurring due to changes on our Earth.
