ECO-Style Student Association
As promised before, here is the official page for the new club in the Human Ecology program I started! Check out the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71497095@N03/6463422903/in/photostream. If you would like to have a closer look at the detailed information rather than a screen shot of the page, you can go on the actual facebook link and like our page to show your support and find out regular news about events for ESSA at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/ECO-Style-Student-Association-ESSA/278946235456360.
With this new facebook page, the ESSA group is hoping to spread a compelling message to the majority of the University of Alberta campus and the wider Edmonton community about fashion sustainability. Not only are we hoping for our message to be heard around the community, but to inspire people to become involved in our events and in chats about fashion sustainability through facebook posts which will hopefully influence them to create an active habit to think ‘green’ in their personal lives. Facebook is evidently one of the top sources of social media in today's world. I know all my friends, and most of my family and acquaintances have a facebook profile! It creates an easier and faster way to communicate to many people at once which is helpful when trying to promote a short notice event or share interesting facts. It also a beneficial way for others to discover ESSA’s page through other friends that have liked our profile by showing the recent actions in their newsfeed. Since we categorized our page as a University group, people that are in University will find it much quicker than people that are not because they belong to the same facebook category. It all interconnects one way or another! Another helpful factor is when typing the word ‘eco’ in the search tool for people that are interested in sustainability, ECO-Style Student Association shows up under that category automatically! With that said, I can confident believe that this advertisement will easily communicate information about our club and the fashion movement we are trying to start.

Some other ‘eco’ or ‘sustainable’ groups I found while typing in ‘ECO-Style Student Association’ in facebook search:
- Eco bike
- CompromisoEco
- Eco Green
Websites also show up on facebook results:
As well as friends that have joined these groups also show up under the results!
Facebook gives many sources and links when search a simple word. This is really amazing. Facebook you are awesome and I am egger to work with you on this project in promoting ESSA!!
