soon enough
classes are starting soon enough. I was around Champaign-Urbana last weekend and saw some thriving Biocubes (exciting). Ill be around the start of the semester.
What, How, Why?
What is the purpose of this project?
How is it happening?
Why should you care?
The student sustainable fund, a $5 fund that is included in each students tuition was used last year to create a solar powered roof for the School of Business. Although helpful in creating a more sustainable campus, the project does not affect or allow students to be a part of the process.
To encourage sustainable decisions and actions from the University and students, both parties must be involved in environmental causes. The Biocube Project intends for this to happen with the 20 Biocubes that have been placed around campus.
In essence it is an experiment. After all, the UIUC campus may not be ready for such projects. The Biocube Project has been implemented to see what action the University and its students take when they are encouraged to get involved. Currently the project is funded by BLUE Illinois, advised by Tony Endress, and implemented by Raffaele Stuparitz.
The project has mostly been created through the work of Raffaele Stuparitz who has designed, manufactured, and implemented every aspect of The Biocube Project (lots of work). Participation was intended to aid the project, the idea being if everyone does a small part, a big project/awareness could be created. Get involved and receive a Biocube T-shirt (american apparel, organic cotton, sweet design, super comfy).
Email 20biocubes@gmail.com and get involved!
