Hello everyone! SALDF is hosting a towel drive to help you out with some spring cleaning while supporting the animals at the Forsyth Humane Society. The idea of the drive is to collect any new or used towels, blankets, sheets, paper towels, etc. that might otherwise be thrown away. These items will be donated to the humane society to make the animals feel more comfortable in their temporary home.
There will be boxes in the commons starting tomorrow, Tuesday April 24th, until May 11th. We do ask that items be washed prior to donating so that they are ready to be used by the shelter animals.
Thank you and happy finals!!!

The world’s most popular vegetable oil—palm oil—is produced in tropical rain forests everywhere. While it can be produced sustainably, palm oil made with conventional production methods can lead to unchecked agricultural expansion that threatens forests and wildlife.

If anyone is looking for a productive study break, this video is worth a watch. It depicts one of the ways people are attempting to mitigate the conflict between humans and tigers in the Sundarbans. Spoiler alert...dogs are involved. (warning-it can be a little graphic after minute 40 for some parts)
