It’s not a top-down approach to set “greener” practices. It has to do with asking what I want to sustain, what you want to sustain, and what our faculty and staff want to sustain. It’s about getting community stakeholders together (that’s you) to talk about a common vision, and to find connections where we didn’t see them before. news@piolog.net (PioLog Staff) Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:54:00 PDT http://www.piolog.net/index.php/site/article/696/ http://www.piolog.net/index.php/site/article/696/ Moustaches: dangerous or debonair?
