ast week was Earth Week.  Sustainable Carolina had many events planned for the week, including Sounds of Sustainability, a concert type event held in the Green Quad on Tuesday evening.  As part of the Marketing Team, I attended the event to assist as needed, and just be a part of the event.  Anyone was welcome to come, and over the course of the four hours the event was held many different people stopped by to enjoy the activities.  To start of the evening, a few DJs set up and performed.  There two DJs who performed had two unique styles, and both of which were a blast to listen to.  There was a girl and her guitar, performing a nice set of both original songs as well as a few delightful covers.  To finish off the evening, a full band setup and performed, again a nice sampling of both cover songs and original material.  Though the name suggests a simple concert, Sounds of Sustainability had many other activities to enjoy or take part in.  There was an urban artist, doing a live painting while the concert was held.  This was particularly interesting as he setup a canvas and used both spray paint and traditional paint brushes to complete his work.  There was also hoola hooping going on, as well as face painting and snacks and drinks to be enjoyed by all.  Overall I would say it was a great success.
