“would you like a bag for that” campaign
sed has decided upon a direction to go in for the ecomagination challenge.  

We are going to create a one stop center for environmental education and activism on campus and/or student housing dedicated to sustainable living practices.

The tentative plan is to use Wilson Auditorium (the abandoned building across the street from DAAP) as a center for environmental education on campus.  Part of the building would be dedicated to education with another section used as student housing.  The students living in the communal house would volunteer around campus, educate the community, and participate in a reality TV show run by MTV.

There's a disscusion board on Blackboard to post research and ideas.

We need to research:

- ways to involve the community and the student population
- Sustainable living practices we could implement on the UC campus
- Funding sources
- Plants to use for landscaping around the building
- environmentally friendly renovation (and inexpensive) practices
- anything else that seems relevant 

Please post your ideas and research on the SED discussion board on blackboard.  This is a collaborative process so try to build off one another's posts.
