DormStyled Events- Beyond a Donation Drive

posted by Shanell Jackson-Lightfoot ( shanell@dormstyled.com)

Our events go beyond the traditional donation drive, by offering benefits and incentives to students, universities, the general public, and to charities. Providing a convenient, Internet-based, on-campus solution not only creates increased revenue for students, but also improves the quality and volume of items being donated to charities. It also offers consumers the opportunity to purchase gently used items and can potentially reduce campus waste and dumping fees.

posted by Ruth Entwistle ( info@deepspringsinternational.org)

DSI is a 501(c)(3) working in the impoverished nation of Haiti in the fields of water treatment and education. DSI oversees the production of Gadyen Dlo (water guardian) which is a chlorine product used to treat water in the home of rural Haitians. The process of treating water is not only simple, it is affordable. For less than $5.00 per year ($400 GDP), a family of five drinks pure water. DSI couples sustainable chlorine businesses with education in health and water treatment for the population served. In this way not only is behavior is changed long term, economic development occurs.

ECOnstruction

posted by Ian Rappold ( ian.j.rappold@us.army.mil)

Green construction from the ground up. This process uses bio-diesel powered equipment to transform surplus and waste materials into sustainable communities. The carbon credits saved are sold to lower the cost vs benefit. These savings are passed along to the owner/renter/developer. The structures are built to accommodate the owners tastes and needs such as fire-retardant, water/air tight, and tornado/hurricane/earthquake/blast resistant. Geoexchange/Geothermal HVAC is a must. Modern or Conventional designs are available.

Pair-up Environmental For Profits w/Environmental Non-Profit

posted by Angela Haas ( Ahaas@witsinc.org)

The idea is simple. Pair up Environmental For Profits with Environmental Nonprofits. Whether it be to help with business advice, resources, assistance with going green, certifications etc, or client referrals.
WITS is such a nonprofit environmental organziation. We would love to get ISO certified but have no idea where to start, we cannot afford the thousands to bring in a consultant. If we could work with a for profit who is currently undergoing the process, it would be a great help.
