All told there were 11 people from NEIU including David Jones and Juan, a student in his G&ES 150 course. It was great fun! Notices: February 2010: GCG Member and our ISEC Representative Dave Salinas had the opportunity to go with other ISEC students and talk with Senator Burris.

What is the Green Cycle Group all about? We strive to promote ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY on campus at NEIU, through education and community involvement. We encourage likeminded people to join us, bring their concerns and create meaningful change in the name of our environment. We have activities to promote sustainability and common-sense environmental practices such as workshops and film festivals. These activities are designed to promote engagement of the entire community, not just the members of the club. We also regularly enjoy social activities off campus such as visiting special museum exhibits, the farmer's market, potlucks,etc.^top^ MEETINGS: We meet (usually) about twice a month, during the fall and spring semester. It's an informal meeting, but we do try and get some business done. Drop by sometime! (We meet less often during the summer semesters, if at all.) If you can't attend meetings, there are other ways to be involved. COMMUNICATIONS: Keep up to date and be involved by joining the mailing list ... a lot of discussion takes place there. You can also join the Facebook group and you will be notified of upcoming events. ACTIVITES: We have activities to promote sustainability and common-sense environmental practices. Hopefully you will be able to help out with or attend our activities... We like to have a good time whenever possible! NO DUES: We want your participation, your ideas, your suggestions... not your money! ^ top ^ What we
need:
We
depend on person-to-person contact - so what we
need mostly from you is an hour or two of your time (or more!), at your
convenience... Come to a meeting or activity to help organize
and promote
activities, and spend time with others who share your
interests. What
are
your skills?
We
need ideas and people to
get involved with the event planning process. Help
come up with themes for our events; help us review movies to be shown;
help us decide what to serve when events will be catered. Come up
with cool, and environmentally friendly raffle prize
ideas.
Do
you enjoy design and/or
composition?? Maybe you can write? We would love to produce a snappy
pamphlet
that explains who we are and what we do, and our current campaigns. To
be given
out at bake sales, awareness events and any other occasion
upon which
people show an interest in our organization. Publicity is the
name of the
game and we would love to have your help.
Maybe you can cook,
and make
something for our bake
sales.
Bring it on,
we'll support you.
