Volunteers Still Needed for CCAF

Hi Denver EWBers!  In case you haven’t already heard, the Denver Chapter is preparing for our second year of volunteering at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. This year we will be working in an alcohol booth, and a portion of all of the sales will go to funding for our chapter. It’s a great opportunity to meet some fellow EWBers while networking with the community and talking about the work we do (not to mention, doing the community a great service by providing some frosty drinks on a hopefully beautiful day). No experience is necessary, just come out and have fun!I still need a few volunteers to help out with our booth. Available shifts are:

Friday 7/4
12:30 to 3pm
3 to 8:30pm

Saturday 7/5
9:30am to 3pm

Sunday 7/6
8:30am to 1:30pm - 2 people needed this shift

EWB Denver t-shirts will be available and encouraged for all volunteers to purchase for $10.

Please email Jen at jencewb@gmail.com if you can help out.

Lessons from a Malawi Sanitation Project

Low cost Ecological Sanitation programs in Malawi have led to the building of over 11,000 compostproducing toilets since 2003. While the toilets are affordable and simple to construct, the fact that they convert human waste into valuable odor-free compost, enables cost recovery for households and is a prime driver in popularizing EcoSan designs… Click here for the full report.
