You and your friends can help Roosevelt University win a $250,000 grant from Pepsi that will be used to make the Schaumburg Campus an environmentally sustainable facility.

All you have to do is vote once a day during the month of January at this site: http://www.refresheverything.com/rugreenrooseveltuniversity. You can also vote on Facebook. The organization with the most votes receives the grant.

Should Roosevelt win, we plan to use the grant money in Schaumburg for the following projects:
— construction of a LEED-certified greenhouse that is powered by solar energy
— development of an organic garden to teach students how to grow native plants that will enhance the surrounding landscape
— replacement of the present asphalt in the parking lot with pervious concrete.

Roosevelt’s application is sponsored by RU Green, a student organization which was established to promote ecologically-conscious students, staff and faculty. Please help us win this major grant by voting only once a day!
