First things first: we shared the scintillating details of our lives through
highs and lows.

Hunger Banquet recap:
Monica and Katie discussed their sustainability presentation.  It was on the
relationship between food, transportation, and poverty.

Max unveiled our newest composting poster.  
(PS--It’s the Composting Crew’s one-year anniversary!)

Chill Out Award: Due Nov . 30th
        We’re going to do this!

Composting: Can anyone go Tuesday before Thanksgiving around 3pm?

Stacy visited North Carolina for a Sustainability Conference with Lew Pullen
Ideas:
*Sustainability Office with Sustainability Interns (Next year?)
*“Kernels” of Sustainability in other organizations
                (Help LSE set standards of sustainability for campus groups)
*Student Green Fees
        --$2-$25 per student per semester
        --What do people think about this? Feedback? Can we do an online poll?
*Reusable Dish Program--we could buy like 50 reusable plates that clubs can
check out and use for their program.

Jeremy’s update:
Do you live in VMC, 3M, Michels--a few students from each hall are needed to
run sustainable programming.

        Proposal must be submitted by Nov . 24
