*History/ Timeline Project* - contact Keith Nugent - knugen2@uic.edu
Many students are eager to learn what we've accomplished and what our plans
are for the future . A great way to learn about the history of EWB UIC and
our projects is to join us as we compile our history/ welcome packet for
new members.
*Future Cerro Alto Projects*
We have identified two potential future projects for the Cerro Alto
community, and we will be moving forward with the research and development
phase for each project.
*Cooking Stoves* - contact Mark McGee - mmcgee7@uic.edu
Many families are cooking with open fires indoors, using a lot of wood and
producing smoke that is reducing the air quality in the community. We're
forming a committee that will compile the plans for rocket stoves to
present to the community. Please contact Mark if you are interested in
joining us as we compile and discuss designs, costs, and best alternatives.
*Grey Water* - contact Megan Wroclawski - megan.wroclawski@gmail.com
The community has expressed an interest in finding a solution to the
placement of their wastewater from laundry, cooking and dishwater.
Currently, much of it is being tossed in ditches along the roadside,
becoming a stagnant breeding ground for mosquitoes as well as interfering
with roadside travel. Join us as we seek to design an acceptable solution
to present to the community.
