Announcements: The Net Impact Green Roof Pilot Project has been approved! On Earth Day 2008, The George Washington University's Net Impact chapter received final approval and funding from top university administration to proceed with the campus' first-ever green roof.  The Net Impact Green Roof Pilot Project will be installed at the Elliott School of International Affairs City View Room Terrace this summer. The location was chosen because it is a high profile space that offers unparalleled accessibility and visibility. The Net Impact Green Roof Pilot Project will be approximately 2,000 square feet and is designed to provide a conspicuous demonstration of GW's commitment to sustainability and to create top-of-mind awareness for students, faculty, and alumni.   The green roof is also meant to have an educational component by offering academic research opportunities to students.  Additionally, it has several environmental benefits including reduction of the heat island effect, storm water run-off reduction, potential energy savings, and to provide habitat for insects and birds. GW's Department of the Treasury will provide approximately 70% of the funding for the project.  The other 30% has been earmarked in the form of grants from the Class of 2007 Green Campus Fund and GW's Student Association Social Responsibility Initiative (SRI) fund. Many thanks to all of the administration and faculty who helped make this possible.
