Dear Friend,
Wherever you may be this July, we hope you are coping with the heat and enjoying the summer! Here at the Office of Sustainability, we find that (like many departments at Tufts, I suspect) summer never quite slows down. We are getting ready to hold condensed Eco-Ambassador training sessions in Boston this August, teeing up preparations for fall orientation, as well as planning for the new fiscal year.
 There are many exciting things to look forward to on campus - one of which has already happened: a new Hubway station was installed at the corner of Packard Ave and Powderhouse Blvd this week! This brings Somerville's total to 11, which includes stations in Teele, Powder House, Ball, and Davis Squares.
Our newsletter drops to our monthly (vs bi-weekly) schedule for the rest of summer, but do stay in touch with all that's green and wonderful at Tufts through our Facebook and Twitter accounts. Jobs and events also continue to get posted to our blog.
Stay cool!
Fannie Koa

Congratulations to Dawn Quirk, Waste Reduction Program Manager for Facilities Services at Tufts, for being invited to the Boston Recycling Coalition (BRC) task force to draw up a list of recommendations to advance strong waste reduction and diversion policies in Boston for the new mayor (whomever that may be). Dawn was recommended to BRC as "a university recycling coordinator who is not only knowledgeable about recycling, but also in touch with the student body."
