There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The festival offers entertainment and fun, as well as practical resources. Here are a few reasons to attend:
Old sneakers and electronics can be brought to the festival and dropped off for recycling. Shoes may be recycled at the Shoot the Shoes booth near the stage (no shoes with metal parts or cleats). Electronics such as cell phones and computers will be accepted at the electronic recycling station.
The stage will be filled with entertainment throughout the festival, including live bands, karaoke, spoken word performances, and the presentation of the Environmental Leadership Awards.
Ninety groups and organizations have registered to have a booth at the Earth Day Festival. Explore the booths to learn about the variety of Earth-friendly activities happening on and around campus.
Generous donations from the Georgia Tech community have stocked the clothing and office supply swaps. Bring your BuzzCard to partake in both opportunities.
The Earth Day Festival will be sharing free organic popcorn and T-shirts with participants until supplies run out.
It’s not too late to volunteer. To sign up, visit earthday.gatech.edu/volunteer.
