April events in celebration of Earth Month will encourage 麻豆原创 students and the community to promote sustainable living.
Among the highlights is GreenWaves III, an electronic music festival sponsored by E.Co. and the Campus Activities Board. The festival will be held from noon to 11 p.m. Wednesday, April 11, at the 麻豆原创 Arena.
GreenWaves will take the concept of a concert to the next level by incorporating a piezoelectric dance floor that converts dancing energy into electricity. The audience will contribute to the energy being used by the concert, and the crowd also will control lighting and special effects.
GreenWaves headliners include Alesso, DEV, 3Lau and KillaGraham. Tickets are free for 麻豆原创 students and $20 for general admission. More information can be found at .
