A big thank you goes out to the CarbonRally members that attended our Sustainability Meeting today. Throughout the year we will hold Sustainability meetings to keep you up to date on the Carbon Rally and BU Sustainability. Our goal is for the School of Social Work to be an active member of BU Sustainability so we welcome your attendance at our meetings and would love to hear your ideas on how to make SSW more eco-friendly. Please check out the BU Sustainability website to see what other BU communities are doing. http://www.bu.edu/sustainability/what-you-can-do/what-are-you-doing/ We also want to remind you of our “Toss in for Tots” empty can and bottle drive that will be going for the months of November and December. We ask you to toss your redeemable empty cans or bottles into the large wrapped presents located in the Student and Lowey Lounges. The proceeds will go to children who are in need this holiday season. Look for weekly updates to see how much we have collected! Jen Pace and Yen Pham Sustainability Liaisons

Dear SSW Carbon Rally Team: We would like to remind you that our first SSW Sustainability meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 17th, 1:30-2pm in the SSW Student Lounge. Also, we will be discussing our upcoming "Toss in for Tots" Empty Bottle and Can Drive as well as brainstorming ideas for how to make SSW more eco-friendly! You can also pick up your prize "Bamboo Flash Drives" from the October challenge at the meeting by just letting us know that you're a carbon rally member! Unfortunately, we do not have enough for all members so prizes will be available on a first come first serve basis. Looking forward to seeing you at our meeting. All is welcome to attend! Thanks, Jen Pace and Yen Pham Sustainability Liaisons

Congratulations, SSW Team! We'll email you when we receive the flash drives so you can come by to pick yours up.

We need to accept more challenges and step up our game, team!

CONGRATS BU SSW! Our team has had the highest participation rate per member than any other BU team! We will be having a Bean Burrito Party Weds, April 14th from 12-2 in the SSW Student Lounge to celebrate! More details to come. Stay tuned!

Keep taking challenges SSW. We have ONE WEEK left to win the Bean Burrito Party! We are currently in 3rd place in the Per Capita CO2 impact category, but it is only a couple of lbs that is separating us from the # 1 spot. The more challenges you take, the better we do!! Lets go SSW!

Team SSW -- It's time to take this up to the next level by accept new challenges and encourage more SSW students, staff, and faculty to join our team. The only way we could win this is to have everyone at SSW to participate. We have 1 month and 4 days left to win this bean burrito party. Go TEAM SSW!

Hey SSW team, We have the highest number of participation, but we're still behind on the CO2 impact. I think we should try to accept more challenges and recruit more people from the SSW community to join our team. This is not just for a bean burrito party, but it's how we work together as team SSW. We need everyone's effort to win this challenge. GO TEAM BUSSW!!

Congrats SSW! We have eliminated 457 lbs of CO2 ! Currently, we are ranked 3rd out of all of the BU teams. Lets try to make SSW # 1. Feel free to invite others from the SSW community to join our team.
