Upcoming Events
Undergrad Recruitment Week, September 15-19
Tara Hall will be on-campus at Farber U looking for new students to carry on our eco-legacy! If you are a Farber student and are interested in joining our cause, look for representatives with the green “Cape Hazard Is My Home” buttons. Tara Hall is open to anyone who is passionate about saving the environment, no matter where that challenge takes them. So if you’re looking to be involved in making a difference for our future, please find one of our representatives, or contact Will at wschott@farberu.edu.
Hammerhead Wetlands Rescue Project
The Hammerhead Wetlands are being destroyed in the name of corporate greed! This precious habitat, home to the highly endangered squatting salamander, is being drained, chopped down, and cemented over to build cheap mini-mansions for the over-privileged. Join us in our fight against the Deluth Company, a corrupt building corporation that has side-stepped and bribed their way into an unethical and illegal agreement with the local government in order to turn the beautiful Hammerhead Wetlands into “Sudden Valley”—Cape Hazard’s next suburban nightmare. Contact Will at wschott@farberu.edu for more info.
Past Events
Earth Day at Cape Hazard Elementary
This Earth Day, Tara Hall and other local activists teamed up the Cape Hazard Elementary School to raise children’s awareness about the environment. We felt that the Earth’s future is in the hands of the next generation, and in a time when corporate greed and general apathy rule the world, children are our hope for a brighter future.
Although we believe that every day is Earth Day, we use this opportunity to set aside our personal differences and unite for our common Mother, Earth. With the help of the CH Elementary School Science Department, we planted 7 trees on the school campus and picked up any litter that was lying around. The young students were so enthusiastic about the program that they’ve decided to start their own ecological club next year. Now that’s a great start towards a cleaner, greener future!
Save the Cape Hazard Bay!
Tara Hall is deeply committed to defending the local environment from the effects of pollution and littering. That’s why this year we sponsored the “Keep Hazard Bay ‘Hazard’-Free” demonstration. We believe that pollution is something that we can get people to care about, if only they knew the direct effects of irresponsible choices. We posted several of our activists outside the Cape Hazard docks with information regarding pollution and its consequences to the local wildlife. Many people stopped on their ways to ask questions and to voice their support for our cause, and several expressed interest in getting involved themselves. We see this as a very positive step towards getting the message out about trash!
Petition Car Culture!
What would happen if everyone decided to stop relying on cars for a day? There would be significantly less pollution emitted, there would be no more traffic fatalities, and the worldwide obesity epidemic would be greatly scaled down, to name a few. Tara Hall decided to challenge Cape Hazard residents to abandon the “car culture” that has caused so many of the problems that the modern world is currently facing. We gave people in downtown Cape Hazard the opportunity to sign our “petition car” taking a stance against automotive dependence, and then asked them to hang their keys up for a day. This way, people might realize that they don’t have to be as reliant on the old SUV as they thought they did, and will perhaps seek alternatives to their daily drive.
