SEATTLE (AP) — Occupy Seattle organizers have announced that the encampment at Seattle Central Community College will begin charging electronics using human power from retro-fitted bicycles, composting, and reusing plates, cups and silverware instead of disposables.
The changes are aimed at making the camp more environmentally friendly. Organizers say the nation’s current economic system is “ruthless” to nature.
Organizers say the retro-fitted bicycles will be donated and will be used to charge laptops, cell phones and cameras.
Occupy Seattle began its protest more than a month ago at Westlake Park in downtown, eventually moving to the campus of the community college. On Friday, the college said it was exploring legal ways to evict the encampment.
