What you may have missed...
Here's the minutes from yesterday's meeting:
- Synapse, BU's undergraduate science magazine, came to talk to us! They are looking for an array undergraduate authors to submit their ideas or research for publication. This is a great opportunity - if you are interested, email them at BUsynapse@gmail.com. The website is bu.edu/synapse.
- We decided we were going to look into the possibility of a green roof on Stone Science Building for this semester's big project! We also discussed the idea of breaking into smaller groups if people feel passionately about other issues/projects to work on alongside the green roof.
- Over the next few weeks we will be working on advertising for Professor Cleveland's BP oil spill talk that we are hosting on October 14th
- On November 6th there will be an esplanade clean up, which we will sign up for as a group. Also, we will be planning a trip to go apple/pumpkin picking in late October!
- Last but not least, we worked on making some paper cranes (out of scrap paper, of course) to advertise for the BP talk.
See you all next week!

Mountain Top Removal
Hi everyone,
Anna brought this very important issue to our attention at the second meeting last week. Please take a few minute to view this website about some civil action that will take place in Washington D.C. this weekend: http://appalachiarising.org/
If you are curious about what mountain top removal is and why it is so terrible take a look at this site:http://mountainjustice.org/facts/steps.php
See you all on Thursday!

Last Meeting's Happenings
Hello all! Here are the notes from our last meeting (9/16/10):
We discussed some issues we'd like to focus on this Semester. For our next meeting we will vote on the top three, and work on those. Here were some of the ideas we bounced around:
- Water conservation on campus (pushing for a green roof, replacing sprinklers with soak lines, reducing bottled water use on campus)
- Getting Power driers installed
- Getting more composting in areas other than the GSU
- More recycling in South Campus
- Reusing/renting books within departments
- planning workshops about how to reuse everyday dorm items
- planning a trip to Powershift in D.C.
Some upcoming events include in the Boston area and around campus:
- Bountiful Brookline on Sunday. Our former President Rachel Weil would love some volunteers for this, so email us if you are interested!
- On Monday there will be the first of a series of lectures about "Energy & Society" in SMG rm 424. Send an email to pardee@bu.edu to register!
Finally - Be sure to collect paper and aluminum cans so we can use them to make pin wheels and paper cranes to advertise for the BP oil spill talk by Cutler Cleveland on October 14th!!!
