On October 26th, JJers joined Green GW and many others in celebrating the Green Roof's first year anniversary on top of the Elliott School. Cake from Sticky Fingers, a local vegan bakery, was served on compostable plates with compostable forks and cups and the office of sustainability gave watering cans made of recycled material to help water the roof. President Knapp, who helped kick off the green roof last year by signing the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment, gave a small speech on the push for sustainability at George Washington's Campus. Revolution Green can be seen in the background of a picture of President Knapp, featured below. (note- they are the ones in the party hats)
President Knapp- “This is a great, ‘roof-breaking’ example of this mission. It’s a practical implementation of sustainability at the University. Congratulations to everyone who was involved in this project.”
