The UMass Permaculture Project was selected from among 1400 nominations as one of 15 finalists in the White House Campus Change Challenge. After a week of online voting we were leading the nation (until yesterday), when the University of Arkansas got a story in USA Today and picked up thousands of votes. We believe that with a last minute “push” we can retake the lead in the balloting.If you are willing please vote for us here and ask a few friends to help us out.
Our students have done a terrific job trying to change the culture on campus to be more supportive of local food and farming. This would be quite a tribute to their hard work.
