Earth Day, 73 degrees, and an Introduction to the Public

To all of you,

Tomorrow is is going to be 73 degrees, Earth Day, and the introduction of the Biocubes to the public. I will be implementing four tomorrow. I need to move 4 Biocube planters (wooden frames), 4 cinder blocks, many medium sized rocks, much dirt, and 12 native plants. I could do this all myself but, Ill be tired. I am starting at 2 o'clock at the Art and Design building. From there we will be bringing our materials towards the southwest end of campus near FAR-PAR and Illini Grove. A link has been made for a campus map to show where all the cubes will be implemented (we will be implementing cubes 2-5). I am trying to get a wagon to carry our supplies and keep the idea of sustainability in action. However, if we can not find one I would like to try to keep driving down to a minimum, carpooling, smallest amount of trips. etc. Every person who participates will get a free t-shirt in the coming weeks, be entered into a raffle for prizes, and will be recognized on this blog. Now is your chance to get involved. Happy Earth Day hope to see some helping hands.

Best,
Raffaele
