Thanks to UNCGreen and Anna Marshall-Baker, last November the Sustainability Committee supported a UNCG stop on an NC campus book tour by William Powers, author of Twelve by Twelve: A One-Room Cabin Off the Grid and Beyond the American Dream (New World Library, 2010)
Today Bill's piece appears in the Washington Post (Travel section): The Impulsive Traveler: Going Green in Greensboro, NC
You never know what will come of connections like this! Enjoy!
And thanks, Bill!
