CSM Engineers for a Better World

MEETING MINUTES
*February 25, 2008* EBW, This week we'll meet at the usual time and in the usual place: Tuesday, 12-1 in CO137. There will be food provided, graciously, by Alex. Last week we watched a video via YouTube of a lecture given by William McDonough on his book "Cradle to Cradle." Most of the presentation focused on the concepts of sustainable architecture he is trying to convey. I encourage anyone interested to watch it (about 20 minutes long). Follow the link. This week we'll focus on several issues: First, Alex has spoken to Student Life and they have given us permission to display a bicycle and posters in the student center to raise awareness for the bike project. We've decided to ask for donations to the program too, maybe $1 per person if they'd like to. At this week's meeting we'll be working on what should go on the posters, who can sit at a table for donations, how long we should leave the display up, etc... I have a bicycle for us to use that'll get the point across pretty well. Next, the Ghana pump project is under the leadership of Alex. He needs help from EBW students! This is a great opportunity for people who cannot make the weekly meetings, but still want to be involved. Contact Alex Gan at agan@mines.edu if you're interested, have questions, or just want to know about the project. There is potential for a group of EBW students to visit Ghana in the future if we can get some good progress on the pump system. Through Shay Robinson, EBW will soon have a poster of its own, a distinctive advertisement we can place around campus, at Celebration of Mines, and other events. We will discuss this briefly on Tuesday. I will be attending the weekly meeting of the Golden Rotary club to tell them about EBW and continue to build relations between the clubs. I am looking for a volunteer to come with me to the meeting. It will be at 7am tomorrow morning. I know it's an early rise, but it won't be a long meeting either and it's close. I'm driving there, so if anyone is interested, please e-mail me back by this evening. See you all tomorrow! Jason Fish EBW Prez jfish@mines.edu

EBW,
