Dear EcoWiki Friends,

This will be our last bulletin issue for 2011. It's been such a fanastic year of learning and sharing sustainability information. We hope that the bulletin has been helpful for students as you continue your educational journey.

As we look forward to 2012, it's clear that the EcoWiki needs to be advertised more strategically. We have a steady community, but there is so much room for exploring new ways to reach students and create a stronger site. Do you have ideas? If so, please email us at psueco@pdx.edu.  We are interested in new partnerships.

We wish that you a safe holiday season. See you online in 2012!
