through education and example. Blitz eco to organize getting a Sustainable Dartmouth

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!
