Friday Find-it instructions

As you probably noticed, every picture from the Sales Floor (New In-Store Items, as well as Facebook and Twitter) features a skull with googly eyes named Jabber Jaw. We're not entirely sure where he came from, but he's there for size reference.

At 2pm every Friday from late Spring to early Fall, we have a little extra fun by hiding him in photos around the facility. If you find him, you win a prize! You can guess as many times as you want, and you can play every week, but you can only win each prize once. Prizes usually change every 4-6 weeks, so there are plenty of opportunities to win. Here are more detailed instructions for how enter:

1. Save a copy of the image onto your computer
2. Find Jabber Jaw
3. Draw a circle around him using Paint, PhotoShop, or an online image editor like Pixlr
4. Send the circled image back to us in a Facebook message before 6pm the following Tuesday
5. Come to the Surplus Store during Public Sale hours to claim your prize!

Next Friday Find-it prize: Be Spartan Green reusable shopping bag

Congrats to everyone who won a Sparty medallion coaster, that was our most successful prize so far!

Up next, in celebration of our new alliance as MSU Sustainability, we'll be giving away these reusable Be Spartan Green shopping bags.

They're durable and lightweight, and they save you the trouble of stockpiling plastic bags after every grocery trip. Find Jabber Jaw in this week's Friday Find-it picture to win! (Here's how, if you're new or need a reminder)

Be Spartan Green!

Our whole department (us, Recycling, Bikes, Storage, and Books) has joined the new Infrastructure Planning & Facilities unit of MSU, more specifically the Sustainability department. What does that mean? We're now part of Be Spartan Green! Part of President Simon's "Boldness by Design" plan in 2005, Be Spartan Green was created to promote environmental stewardship and sustainability initiatives by Spartans across campus and around the world. The commitment was to expand the basic "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" mantra to "Reduce, Reuse/Recycle, Research/Re-educate, Redesign, and Rethink," so it makes a lot of sense that we're now sharing space, both physically and mentally, with Be Spartan Green to combine our teams and efforts.

The change shouldn't affect your shopping experience much. Though, it will allow us to continue growing our presence on campus and in the community, like when we combined forces with the Bikes Service Center last year. We're pretty excited, and it'll bring bigger and better opportunities for you to Go Green!
