By Catherine E. Toth
Advertiser Urban Honolulu Writer

Hawai'i Pacific University will kick off its Green Campus Project with a recycling drive and a screening of "An Inconvenient Truth" on Friday at its downtown campus.

The event runs from 6 to 10 p.m. on upper Fort Street Mall.

The school's Proud To Be Pinoy Club helped organize the event as a way to provide and maintain HI-5 recycling bins in campus buildings.

In addition to the movie, the event will feature environmentally themed games and exhibits and three local Filipino entertainers. Joni B. Redick, president and founder of Filipino American Multi Ethnic Society, will serve as emcee. HPU assistant professor of management Michelle Alarcon-Catt is director of the Green Campus project and will host the event.

The event is free and open to the public.
