Do you want to develop sustainable environmental solutions to mitigate ecological degradation in bio-rich, but economically disadvantaged communities in Panama?<br />
<br />
<br />
Join an 8 day student-run Environmental Brigade to Panama! We will be sending a group of dedicated volunteers who will work alongside engineers to build ecologically sustainable projects. These projects range from energy-efficient designs (such as eco-latrines, eco-stoves, greenhouses, and sustainable farming methods), to educating the locals with an environmental curriculum implementation. <br />
<br />
This is a unique opportunity for anyone who is interested in the environment, international development, or experiencing Central America first hand. We especially need Spanish-speaking students on the brigade; however, everyone (even with no Spanish or engineering experience) is encouraged to apply.<br />
<br />
We will be working on our assigned project throughout the Spring and Summer to bring a plan down with us to Panama from Aug 15-22. <br />

<br />
World Water Day is coming up on the Tuesday we get back from spring break (March 22)! We will be tabling from 11am-2pm at the BU Beach. Come by to join the water squirting, learn some interesting facts about water, get some DIY pins, or take our water tasting test.<br />
<br />
In the evening we will be showing the film One Water in CAS B12 at 7pm. The winner for the photo scavenger hunt will also be announced at that time.<br />
<br />
We will have a final planning meeting on Monday March 21 at 7pm in STO422. We need people to help chalk in classrooms on Tuesday, please attend this meeting if you would like to help.<br />
<br />
P.S. If you are interested in joining the “water bottle militia” in squirting the unsuspecting bottled water drinkers who pass by our table to catch them in the act, please contact Nick: 978 270 4754. It will look something like this… <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq58zS4_jvM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq58zS4_jvM</a> except with water guns.<br />

<br />
Last week we just had a short meeting to sign up for tabling and discuss improvements, changes, things we liked/dislike for next semester.<br />
<br />
This week, (12/9) we will be having our final meeting! At the beginning of the meeting those of us who volunteered to do water fountain audits in other buildings on campus should turn them in so we can compile the information and give it to B&G.<br />
<br />
After this it will just be a little shin-dig celebrating the end of year! Hope you can all make it!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748840349773581918.post-58395870699562930432010-12-01T11:21:00.001-05:002010-12-01T11:21:38.135-05:00Final Energy Seminar!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 3px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 3px; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"></span><br />

<br />
<br />
Events this week:<br />
<br />
Wednesday: Geography dept. Tea @ 2 in CEES lounge. water taste test! <br />
Volunteers for tabling and conducting the taste test are greatly appreciated.<br />
If this goes well we may gain a lot of support from the department.<br />
<br />

<br />
Friday: Outing Club's Enviroganza (we will be tabling)- 11am-4pm at GSU plaza<br />

<br />
For last night's meeting:<br />
<br />
We made final decisions about facts to use for our bottled water campaign<br />
<br />
Also, a sign-up sheet for tabling next week (Thursday, 11/18 1pm-4pm) was passed around, if you want to table and weren't at the meeting to sign up, shoot us an email! If you can't table and would like to bake some treats to help lure people over, that would be much appreciated also!<br />
<br />
For next week, we will be meeting on <b>Wednesday</b> at 7 so that people who want to see a screening of Food Inc. in KCB at 7 on Thursday can do so.<br />
<br />
Finally, we contributed to Oceana's petition for clean energy and made hand turkeys =)<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
