One response to “Board of Directors”

    Hi, Quentin,

    I love what you guys are doing. I grew up in San Jose and currently attending Georgia Tech.

    I’ve started a small experimental project, along the line of sustainability in actions. It is to promote FreeCycle movement on college campuses. This is a pretty low profile project, but could have major global impact if done right. We are talking about $B/year natural resource saved, and god how many tons of CO2 not emitted into the air, plus all those air, land and water pollutions prevented.

    I started with 4 schools in GA, and like to invite more schools to join. CA is certainly at the top of my list.

    I’m wondering if my little project fit well with what you are doing. If you also find it a fit, please help me to spread the words out among CA schools.

    Thanks.

    Amanda Hui
