  12. Monarchs Need Milkweed Project Update

    Associated Project(s): 
    Increase Pollinator-Friendly Areas

    An update on 12/11/2024 from Brent Lewis on the Monarchs need Milkweed project:

    "...all plugs were installed as of November 2024 in a variety of locations on campus.  Additionally 25’bs of milkweed seed was purchased and delivered to grounds to broadcast seed into low mow and prairie areas on campus.  As a set aside, 3 lbs of seeds were delivered to the Pollinatarium staff who will use it to make small planting gift sachets for their visitors.  Thus this project’s influence may continue far beyond the reaches of the campus boundaries."

  16. Weekly Digest

    Associated Project(s): 
    Campus Bike Center

    As expected, we were slow last week. We held an instructional course but did not get any attendees as it was cold and snowy—no surprise there! We will schedule more classes next semester.

    We’re still low on kids’ bike donations and hovering around 50 or so. Have a meeting with IMC folks this week to discuss logistics.

    As a late decision, the Bike Center will be the starting point for a community bike ride this coming Sunday, December 15th at 2p, which will hopefully get some folks aware of our space that may not have been otherwise.

    The numbers:

    Visitors: 25
    Sales: $209
    Memberships: 2 for $60
    Tires/tubes: 5 for $39

  18. Illini Lights Out 12/6

    Associated Project(s): 
    Illini Lights Out

    At this past Friday's Illini Lights Out event, 2815 light bulbs were shut off that otherwise would have been left on all weekend, saving $428 in energy costs. This also prevented 5.9 metric tons of CO2 equivalent from entering the atmosphere, which is equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions from 664 gallons of gasoline being consumed. That's a huge impact!
