Campus InPower is stoked to be launching a new toolkit, and guess what.... we want to feature YOU in it!

"Get It Done: Success Stories from the Front Lines of Campus Sustainability" will be a brand-new look at innovative sustainability projects and what it took to get them done, told by the very organizers themselves. Entries will read like a Q&A magazine interview, giving personal, interesting, and nuanced takes at the uphill battles fought to transform our universities.

We are looking for a wide range of entries.  Categories are:

    * Policies & Administration

    * Education

    * Energy

    * Water

    * Built Environment

    * Food Systems

    * Waste

    * Purchasing

    * Land Use Impacts

    * Transportation

If you would like to submit an entry in any category, simply:

1. Answer the questions below regarding your project and email them back to rachel@campusinpower.org.  Entries are due by Monday, February 16th 2009.

2. Please also send a photo(s) related to your project.

Here is an overview of the toolkit, to give you a better idea how the guide will be organized:  CIP Toolkit Overview Feb09.pdf

Please email me with questions, and definitely forward this email to folks who you think would be interested in being featured!

Rock on,
