LEED Interest Circles
- Gavin Gardi
|
We have scheduled the next 7
LEED-NC Interest Circle (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
meetings from 9:00am to 11:00am on the 3rd Thursday of the
month from July 2008 through January 2009. Based on the experience of
other groups and the interest areas expressed at the kick-off meeting we
have decided to try a variation of the LUG (LEED User Group) Meetings that
the West Michigan Chapter holds on a monthly basis. So the LEED-NC
Interest Circle meetings will cover one section of the LEED-NC rating
system each month in order to develop knowledge of the rating system,
share insights & experiences and learn about sustainable construction in
general.

Bike Film Fest
- Tim Potter
|
For those of you looking for
something truly out of the ordinary this weekend, the Bicycle Film Fest is
happening this weekend in Toronto:
http://bicyclefilmfestival.com/2008_site/toronto/
If you’re
not familiar with the BFF, it’s a film fest all about bikes that circles
the globe every year now since the year 2000. Here’s their home page:http://bicyclefilmfestival.com
If you
can’t make Toronto, consider Minneapolis coming up Jul. 9 – 12th:
http://bicyclefilmfestival.com/2008_site/minneapolis/
There’s
also great trailers that you can watch online thru their site if you can’t
go to any of the above; I’ve been successful in getting our local library
(CADL) to stock different indie films, so if you find one you really like
please put in a
request to CADL and then let us all know if it becomes available.
Someday
I’d like to do a mini-BFF right here at MSU/E. Lansing/ Lansing. Anyone
interested in helping out with such an effort drop me a line.
On the
topic of bike movies, if you’ve never checked out our extensive movie
library here in the Center you can browse our list online here (these are
available for loan for free for a week):

Hope
you’re enjoying these great riding days and saving tons of $$,
