Look Up and See Green
URBN, 4th floor terrace

Look up and See Green is a student driven, collaborative
initiative to lead the Portland Metropolitan Region in sustainability. Last
year, this project created a sustainable community gathering place on the 4th
floor of Urban Center by bringing together student groups to implement ideas of
rainwater collection strategies, utilization of our rooftops for growing food
and a university wide discussion on sustainability initiatives. The Look Up and
See Green team would like to invite the campus community to the terrace for an
open house where we will be compiling ideas for the 2009-10 projects. The
celebration will have music and food so be sure to drop by!
