More great news: CARES won the 2009-2010 Chancellor’s Award for Public Service!!!!

The ceremony takes place in Sibley Auditorium on Friday, April 30, 2010 at 4 pm

 

SWEET!!!  CARES won a $75K seed CITRIS grant to start a CARES center at Berkeley to codesign & build green it & energy systems for Native Nations.

The center will be called Native American Community Assessment for Renewable Energy and Sustainability (Native CARES) and will include Native American partners such as the Pinoleville Pomo Nation, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Sandia National Laboratories.

Thanks to everyone that's supporting our efforts to helping  communities improve their overall level of sustainability and meet their triple bottom line requirements!

CARES has seen much success since we won the E Team grant in 2007 from NCIIA.  I believe that this grant is a another key step in establishing CARES as a major force in the sustainability arena.
