Past Activities & Accomplishments

Environmental Sustainability Committee (ESC)
Wednesday October 22, 2003 2:00-3:00 pm
Basement Conference Room of the Alumni House

Meeting Minutes

1. Attendance: Low at this meeting. Why? The group decided it was a fluke. So, the meeting was short and the topics listed below were divided up for the specified people on the committee to lead a discussion.

2. ESC in the public eye: Kristine will compile a list of ways that ESC has gone public, whether through newspaper articles, activities, etc.

3. Earth Week 2004: Heather will initiate discussion as well as brainstorm on her own about exciting ideas for ESC to organize during Earth Week next year. One suggestion is to contact Pam Schmidt at the GEM center and student groups.

4. Home Winterizing Event: Theresa will be the head organizer for the event and will gather ideas/suggestions at the next meeting. Almost all members expressed interest in helping. This event may be something similar to a “Tech Tea Time,” and could include a panel of speakers to give mini-presentations and probe questions.

5. Bill Sproule’s Transportation Project: It deals with alternative transportation, and Mike volunteered to look into this by the next meeting. Basically, how can ESC become involved in such an initiative?

6. Subcommittee Recruitment: Bethany will help ESC create a list of people that should be invited to join ESC’s subcommittees.

7. Goals and Budget: Shalini and Alexis will begin a budget that may require some alterations once the ESC creates a few goals for the year. Goals will be discussed as a group at the next meeting.

8. Update on the Greenprint: Not much progress has come about the GP since the last meeting.

9. Future meeting schedule (with tentative plan): October 5, 2003 2:00-3:00 pm Basement Conference Room Alumni House
- Discuss as many as the above topics.
