The UMass Amherst Permaculture Committee, a student group that I am working with, received some incredible news this week! We received a call from The White House and we've been notified that we're selected as 1 of 15 finalists (out of 1000+ applications!) for the Campus Champions of Change Challenge! This means we are in the final round, and the general public is now voting for which teams will get A TRIP TO THE WHITE HOUSE and also be featured on MTV's program "The Deans List" which has over 9 million viewers.

We have only 1 week to tally as many votes as we can - voting ends Saturday, March 3 at midnight est (New York time!) Here's a short description about our student group, and instructions for how to vote:https://campuschallenge.uservoice.com/forums/148562-campus-champions-of-chang...

"UMass Amherst Permaculture is a student group that educates the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus and the local community about ecological permaculture solutions by demonstrating edible perennial landscapes that are highly productive, low maintenance, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible!"

In summary, we feel that this is such an amazing opportunity to bring huge amounts of positive light to UMass Permaculture on the international stage - to further promote UMass Amherst as a leader in creating the environmentally and socially-just food system and world that we all want to see. Please vote for UMass Amherst Permaculture Initiative and you'll be sending a clear message that this project is something we want to see more support for. Thank you so much, everyone. We could be at the White House on March 15 with your help!
