Help Needed

Are you interested in helping the University to become more environmentally sustainable?  Would you like to be part of a team in Physics that meets to brainstorm and come up with ways to reduce our department’s carbon footprint?  Please consider joining me as part of a FST initiative, the FST Sustainability Group.  This is a new group that is just finding its way, but we have a lot of great ideas and practices that are already in place in other departments.  Contact me if you’re interested or want to find out more.  Anyone is welcome.  No large time committment is necessary!
