1. FINDINGS & PURPOSES
   1. This event is in collaboration with the JHU Office of Sustainability. They are planning Earth Fest as a celebration of sustainability for Earth Day. Different sustainability groups and departments will be tabling such as Sustainable Hopkins Innovative Projects, Dining, Health Promotion and Wellbeing, and Outdoors Club.Our vision is to create a mural with recycled bottle caps in the shape of a circle. During Earth Fest, students will be able to paint bottle caps, similar to a paint-by-number photo. When assembled and glued together, the bottle caps should resemble an image of the Earth in a circular shape. We intend to put the bottle caps onto some background/canvas and then frame it to be hung up, hopefully in the Student Center when it opens.
      1. The event will take place on Friday, April 18th, 2025 from 3-5pm at Keyser Quad.
