Greetings Village residents!

This March and April join with the JMU Clean Energy Coalition (Green Team) to
win the second Green Hall Competition, a rivalry between village residents to
find out which Hall has what it takes to take care of the Earth.

For four weeks (March 23 – April 17) ORL and the Green Team will measure the
energy and water use of each village residence hall. At the end of the four weeks,

we will tally all resource use, and there will be a fantastic prize for the hall with the

greatest percentage reduction in energy use, declaring your hall's sustainable

superiority! There will also be prizes for dorms which reduce their energy and water

use by at least 10%.

By reducing your energy and water use, you will be showing all those older
generations that we care about our future. You will also start to realize how
much energy you use on an average day, and how much of it is not necessary.
But most importantly, you'll have the right to brag, the right to say (Fred,
Hanson, White, Ike, YOUR HALL!) is the Greenest Hall at JMU!

Throughout the four weeks of the competition, the Green Team will be keeping
you up to date on your hall's progress, and provide new ways to reduce your
resource consumption in the halls.

So, why should you care? The Unites States is by far the leading resource user
per capita of any nation in the world. With only 5% of the worlds population, we
consume 25% of the world’s energy. Our energy and water use also has direct
implications on the environment. The fossil fuels we burn are a major
contribution to global climate change. Also, over 50% of our electricity comes
from coal, which is increasingly mined through mountaintop removal, a form of
strip mining. In Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia, mountaintop
removal has destroyed over 400 entire mountains, and buried more than 1200
miles of mountain streams; headwater streams that feed water sources from the
Mississippi to the Shenandoah rivers.

The JMU Green Team, AKA the Clean Energy Coalition (CEC), in addition to being
ex and current proud village residents, is made up of student organizations
from every corner of JMU. From the Association of Energy Engineers to
Geography Club, to Students for Free Enterprise and EARTH, and many others.
Your group can be a coalition member too, just come out to meetings on
Thursdays at 7:00 PM in TDU. Our mission is to move JMU into a clean energy
future, where 100% of our energy is produced through clean, renewable
sources. This year we are focusing on decreasing JMU student's energy uses by
10% over 2008. Help us reach this goal by becoming active in the Village Green
Hall Competition!

Those Jackson kids are adorable! What! No mention of Pink's outstanding performance--twirling and splashing water on all the celebs (help I'm melting) Her voice never quivered. Unlike, Taylor and Stevie--never liked Stevie I think her voice is awful. I do a great impersonation film izle kinda Katherine Hepburn and Joan Rivers mixed together --volatile.
