Students for a Sustainable Campus

Come to the first meeting of Students for a Sustainable Campus (SF/SC), Tuesday, September 15th 10:15 pm, in the Commons Gatehouse! We'll be discussing how SF/SC should be structured and what projects SF/SC will take on in the coming academic year. Here are a few ideas VP Johanna and I have been bouncing around: founding a Sustainability Scholarship for a returning student who makes his or her practice more sustainable, launching a campus-wide student-faculty-staff sustainability pledge, establishing a bike share, and, most importantly, investigating cleaner energy options for MICA and then developing a project to bring cleaner energy to campus this year. Everyone will be free to share any sustainability-related ideas, plans and schemes they have hatched over the summer!

Hope to see you on the 15th! Until then, check out SF/SC's blog.

Tomorrow, around 11, we're doing a farmstand in front of Cafe' Doris. We'll have a bunch of cucumbers, tomatoes and kale. At the same time, I think there is a free-swap thing at the Brown Center. Come see us!

Yesterday, Patrick and I set up a farmstand in front of Cafe Doris. Though it was only a modest harvest, we still had a good deal of people interested in, and willing to buy the food we've been growing. Now that the tomatoes are finally ripening, we're looking to do it again, soon. I'll post when we do. 

Some time in the week of August 11th, we're going to be preparing another bed (that means tilling and sifting rocks) for fall crops. A few weeks ago we cut down the big metal kiln that previously dominated the space. We'd love any help we could get to make the ground ready for turnips, chard, and spinach. If anyone wants to volunteer and has any specific days off around that time let me know. Otherwise I'll send an email or post closer to that date.

Did we ever find a way to put the video online? Either YouTube or something? I'd love to download a copy to my computer, it was great!

I hope the Duncan Street farm is coming along nicely, and everyone's doing well. It would appear so, from looking at the blog.
