GROW's Green Building Meeting and Green Roof Seminar!

Do you spend time in buildings? Do you design buildings? Do you strive for
efficiency? Are you interested in sustainable communities? If you
answered yes to one or more of those questions, then read on! No previous
experience necessary!

GROW (Green Roofs Over Waterloo) will be having it's first meeting:
THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2nd at 4:30pm - SLC 2136

What is GROW and why should you care? GROW's goal is to raise awareness
about green building technologies. These include: various ways to increase
energy and water efficiency, safe and efficient materials selection
(avoiding sick building syndrome), construction methods/practices, etc....

The intent is to push the university to have a plan in place to start
building better buildings: for the environment, and for everyone that spends
hours upon hours in them! We will spread the word on various
technologies/practices through guest speakers from the university and
industry.

Stay posted, our first workshop will be on green roof design -- it's easy,
innovative, and effective!.

If you are interested in helping organizing, advertising, or just showing up
to the seminars, this meeting is for you! Come with ideas for what you want
to learn about, and I'll do my best to get the appropriate speakers. I will
keep it short and sweet. If you can't make it, but are interested, please
feel free to email me with your interests, what you can help out with, etc.

See you Thursday!

(GROW is brought to you by the University of Waterloo Sustainability Project
- UWSP)
