[Newleaf] LED Bulb Brigade: Round 2

[jkr10 at hampshire.edu]

Hello friends in sustainability!

We had some great initial LED distribution runs last week.  What  
struck me was that our plan to prioritize offices might not be that  
effective, because the majority of offices we visited in Cole and FPH  
are simply using their overhead fluorescent lighting for all lighting  
needs.  Judging by the number of lightbulbs in my own mod, I think  
mods might be our most effective bet in terms of distribution (though  
we can definitely still hit offices).

I want to try and do at least three distribution runs this week, in  
addition to anything the Sustainable Hampshire folks want to do in  
their class time.  Here are my two planned times:

Wednesday, Oct. 17th at 12:45pm - Meet at the President's Office.  I  
have class at 1:00pm so I can't actually stay for this, but I'll come  
at 12:45pm to make sure everyone knows what they are doing.  Maybe we  
can try doing one Greenwich Donut to see what happens. If you can come  
for an hour that's awesome and basically all the time you need to spend.

Thursday, Oct. 18th at 1:00pm - Again, meet at President's Office.  I  
can help out on this one.  Based on what we accomplish on Wed, we may  
try another Donut or two based on how many volunteers we get.

Friday, Oct. 19th at 4:00pm - Meet in the President's Office.  This  
might be a good alternative time to try.

Any of those days which you can help out at would be hugely  
appreciated.  This important work needs to get done and we are the  
volunteers to make it happen.  A reminder that any incandescent/CFL  
bulbs we get from our exchanges are being dropped off in the  
collection box outside Beth Hooker's office (Cole 313), and  
location/collection data should be entered in the google doc  
spreadsheet.

Also, Tika, if you could update the google doc with you/Tyler's data  
from last week, that would be awesome. :)

I've also attached a poster I made for the initiative - it's pretty  
basic but it gets the message across.  We may be doing some postering  
in the near future but for now just be inspired by it and let me know  
if you have suggestions.

We can discuss this further at New Leaf's meeting tomorrow night -  
Tuesday at 8:00pm in FPH 101 (this is our regular time).

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Josh
