Towson Tigers for Tigers activates students at Earth Fest!

For our first tabling event on Towson University’s campus, we worked with TowsonGoGreen at their first EarthFest event! In honor of Earth day, the event was held outside where vendors were set up and ready to share why earth day is important to them. Our goal for the day was to create an inviting and interactive table where students could learn about tigers and share why they want to save our mascot. To create this atmosphere we set up our tri-fold T4T poster, whiteboard and special “cub-cakes.” The idea here was to give away a free “cub-cake” in exchange for a picture to post on TU T4T’s twitter and facebook. The event was successful and really helped spread some awareness about our club and tigers to our school. 

The students were interested and wanted to know more about why tigers in the wild are endangered. We gave special focus to habitat loss as one of the prime reasons for dwindling tiger numbers, which combined the importance of why we need tigers in the wild and why we need Earth day. It shows a nice symmetry that by saving the forest, you are saving tigers.
