Conference Opportunity
As the six-month mark of Superstorm Sandy approaches, join the Northeast Region of the Roosevelt Institute | Campus Network at Yale on April 6, 2013, for a conference focused on the storm’s ongoing impact, lessons learned, and ideas for how to reduce community vulnerability in the future. The coordinators are looking for people to work with students on policy proposals, editors to refine pieces, and those interested in participating in the conference. Email us if you’re interested in getting involved!

A few take-aways if you couldn’t join us:

• According to Bootstrap, composting reduces wastefulness, saves landfill space and nurtures the health of soil.
• Check out a few highlight photos of the event! Take a close look for our special guest visitor as well…
