On Saturday, March 31, 2012, UNLV hosted it's own Earth Hour event. We met at the Student Union and watched the documentary, "Forks Over Knives." UNLV's Sustainable Coordinator, Tara Pike, hosted the event and there was a great turnout as people watched the movie and tried to win awesome raffle prizes provided by Rebel Recycling. Once the film was over, we made our way to the top of the Tropicana Parking Garage to eat a Vegan dinner and watch the lights on the Las Vegas strip go off for Earth Hour. Below are photos from the successful event:
