Powershift 2011 is April 15-18th in Washington DC at the DC convention center.  
 It is an amazing youth climate conference, with a ton of workshops and lots  
of networking opportunities.  Powershift 2009 drew over 12,000 youth from  
across the country.  Dartmouth sent a group of 48 students down to Powershift  
2009.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION (ECO)

At the HOP we're lucky enough to have great composting and recycling facilities,  
and we're excited to educate all HOP-goers about how to deal with their trash.  
It's as easy as 1,2...'Hey, I'm here from Sustainable Dartmouth to help you decide  
what to do with your trash!' Hopefully we can begin to change people's behavior  
through education and example. Blitz eco to organize getting a Sustainable Dartmouth  
shirt to make you look official, then sign up for a time here: http://bit.ly/f8IbAY  
, just to give us an idea of how often we have people out there tabling. Thanks!

BIG GREEN BIKE PROJECT (Jenny Juarez)

Over 300 Bikes are abandoned on campus each year. We hope to start a program that  
will recycle bikes by training and hiring at risk youths in the upper valley and  
repair bikes. The program would include workshops in resumes and leadership skills  
and a bike marathon. At the end of the summer they will sell the bikes at the  
Sustainability Move-In sale. We need a lot of help this Winter in creating a business  
plan, so blitz back if you're interested in helping with this effort or staying  
updated on the project!

Yogurt-Making Workshop
This Sunday @ noon @ the SLC
(Matt Dahlhausen and Emil Cashin)
Learn an easy way to make delicious yogurt from regular milk! Bring a quart of  
milk and your enthusiasm! Workshop will take 1-1.5 hours, you'll want to come  
back after 7 or so to get your yogurt. Any kind of cow milk will work, so long  
as it isn't ultra-high pasteurized (most isn't, check the label).
If you plan on coming, blitz 'eac' so that we can be sure to have enough jars.  
If you have a quart jar, feel free to bring it but still blitz please!
