    Students for Ecological Design (SED) will be discussing the history of conservation efforts at UC... most specifically geared towards our expertise--recycling in DAAP.

    This is a good meeting to attend if you are new to SED and want to know part of what we are about. This is also perfect for those that want to know what's going on with recycling on campus, or want to know what can/cannot be recycled!

    PLEASE NOTE: This meeting is actually in 4428, as usual. I cannot choose 4428 as a location (why?), so I just chose the closest room. Fail.

Stephanie, Donald, and Corey won the local competition, which was hosted by Emerging Green Builders (a sub-committee of the US Green Building Council) and entered by approximately 20 teams. As part of their winnings, they received a trip to USGBC's Greenbuild in Phoenix, AZ, a conference attended by tens of thousands of professionals every year.
