About
TOn the dates of April 30 thru May 2 at the University of California San Diego hundreds of students will gather to learn, share, and become friends. The weekend will be full of delicious local and organic foods, hands on learning, workshops, captivating speakers, and, of course, celebration.
CSSC Convergences are an opportunity for students from UCs, CSU's, City Colleges, Private Univerisities, High Schools, and even out of state schools to come together to share resources, build community and plan action around the student sustainability movement. Convergences are organized by students for students. If you've never attended a CSSC Convergence, you have to join us - it will be a llife changing experience.
This Convergence holds a particularly important role in the future of student activism, as it aims to once and for all sew together the connection between the efforts of human rights and environmental care. The UN definition of sustainability includes these two ideas and after decades with people working on both sides (sometimes together) we have now come to a point where an effort in one aisle is futile if not hugged by an effort from the other side, that is to say, this Convergence weekend, sustainability will once and for all be defined as an effort not just for the earth, but for the earth and its people.
Come join us the first day of the UCSD Urban Farm, we will be pulling up the weeds and old brush of the Pepper Canyon plot as we prepare the area for beginning of cultivation and agricultural education at UCSD. It will be an all day event starting at 8:00 a.m. to pull up the old, lay down the soil, compost, manure and spread out the love as we prepare to plant the weekend of the CSSC's 8th Annual Student Sustainability Convergence.
There will be food throughout the day and a host of great farming minds guiding us with their wisdom, so bring a friend and some energy because it will be a day to remember!
