We are going to be featured in the upcoming Purdue Alumnus magazine.  The picture with the recycling bin was taken in the front of the HSSE library in the Stewart Center.
 
We also just got an interview for the ‘green issue’ of the College of Agriculture’s Connections magazine.  The issue should come out in September. 

We applied for $65,000 grant from the Royal Bank of Canada’s Blue Water Project and for a $20,000 grant from Stonyfield Farm.  We are still waiting on news from the StEPP Foundation grant for $65,000. 

These would fund the green roof project.
