Trustee Encourages
Environmental Change
Dr. Hilary Bradbury-Huang Advocates for PCC to Become Green
Jason Lowder

A member of the PCC Board of
Trustees challenged students to
change their behavior - even if
slightly - to combat the growing
global warming crisis, and to turn
PCC into a sustainable ‘green’ cam¬
pus.
“Hi guys,” said trustee Hilary
Bradbury-Huang to a group of late
comers to the packed “It’s easy to
be green” lecture in C333. “We’re
just talking about the end of the
world and what we can do about
it.”
Her vision for a sustainable PCC
involved three targeted areas: green
infrastructure, green programs and
curriculum, and demonstrated lead¬
ership.
“We shall pass on PCC to the
next generation,” according to a
handout distributed by Professor’s
Ling O’Conner and Susie Ling, “In
a better environmental condition
than we ourselves inherited so that a
younger generation may learn,
grow and flourish.”
Bradbury-Huang used a slide
show with images illustrating the
anguish and misery that industrial¬
ization has brought to the planet
and it’s life-systems. “What I hope
is [that] we’ll walk out the door hav¬
ing figured out what this means for
us,” she said to the crowd, which
included Temple City Mayor Judy
Wong. Bradbury-Huang asked,
“How can we begin to take action
for ourselves to end suffering?”
The event was more of a discus¬
sion about how students can adopt
positive habits in four crucial areas
that affect the environment: Food,
Transport, Energy and Buildings.

Board of trustees member Dr. Hilary Bradbury-Huang speaks on how
to turn PCC into a sustainable campus on Wednesday.
The family of
PCC student Reia
Shapiro, killed in a
car accident Sept.
29, has appealed
for help in the
investigation.
The California Reia Shapiro
Highway Patrol
originally informed the family they
thought Shapiro had been killed acci¬
dentally after she was ejected from her
vehicle. A few days later, they
informed the family of a different con¬
clusion.
The CHP now believes Shapiro ini¬
tially had a chance to survive, but was
killed by a hit-and-run driver. “She was
alive out there... and steamrolled by
those cars,” said Kelila Shapiro, Reia’s
sister.
“We’re asking anybody with any
knowledge - first-hand knowledge, sec¬
ond-hand knowledge, or third-hand
knowledge - to call the CHP,” she said
Shapiro’s sister doesn’t understand
why some drivers didn’t slow down to
avoid the accident. She said that sec¬
tion of the 210 Freeway is straight,
well-lit, and that drivers should have
been able to see the situation in time to
avoid it.
Kelila Shapiro said the family is
“really frustrated right now in trying to
find out what happened on the free¬
way. We’re dealing with lots of confu¬
sion, anger, and we’re going day by
day,” she added
“She was like the family’s baby,”
said Kelila Shapiro. “I watched this girl
being born. I was there for the begin¬
ning of her life and now to see this
end? It’s too much. [She] was a great
girl.”
