This morning’s issue of the Old Gold and Black has some good stories.  Here are a few highlights:

“Researchers at the Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials here at the university are changing the way we will think about one of the most common household items: the light bulb….’Imagine that you no longer have to screw a light bulb into your lamp – because the lampshade is what lights up,’ David Carroll, the lead researcher for PureLux, Inc., and director of the unversity’s Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, said.” 

WFU is trying to get the word out to students to use our solar shuttles.  This is a free service for students, faculty and staff, so encourage your students to ride! 

The Pit is making dining greener and cleaner.  Did you know that by using recyclable to-go food boxes, the University has eliminated over 7,000 Styrofoam containers each week?
