Greening of Campuses and Communities 

The "Greening of Campuses and Communities" symposium provides the
opportunity to share projects that embody regenerative design to improve
our quality of life while sustaining the environment and strengthening the
economy. 

This symposium will be held at the Cal Poly Pomona Lyle Center for
Regenerative Studies on Saturday, April 15, 2000. For more information on
