Daily 49er: Mixer showcases students’ eco-friendly ideas

The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden hosted a mixer Wednesday evening in order to encourage Cal State Long Beach to go green.

Approximately 60 people attended the first-time sustainability-focused event titled "Past, Present and Future." Students showcased their environmentally friendly projects and faculty, alumni and community members attended.

Event host and campus sustainability task force coordinator Donnie Bessom said the event was the first of many, and he was amazed by the turnout.

"I never expected this amount of feedback from students and faculty," he said. "We have scientists dreaming big, designers drawing those dreams, engineers building them, and the community comes together while the film department is making a documentary about it ... I hope the numbers keep growing."
