Bananas May Be Yellow, but Campus Sees Green
September 8, 2009
In an effort to use less paper on campus, students and faculty entering Bunn ICC on Sept. 8 received bananas instead of fliers promoting renowned primatologist Jane Goodall’s lecture the next day in Gaston Hall.
Members of the Center for the Environment and Lecture Fund passed out nearly 500 bananas from student-run business The Corp to coincide with Goodall’s nearly 50-year research of chimpanzee social and family interactions, which she pioneered in Gombe, Tanzania.
“The banana promotion was well-received,” said Caitlin Karniski (C’11), an intern with Georgetown’s Center for the Environment. The center sponsors green initiatives and events on campus throughout the year, including the Green Job Expo and Green Fair.
