The National Sustainable
Design Expo featuring EPA’s P3 Award
(Washington,
D.C.) - On April 24 and 25, more than 350 college
and university students will head to the nation’s capital to compete
for the EPA’s Third Annual
P3 (People, Prosperity, Planet) Award on the National Mall in Washington,
DC. The National
Sustainable Design Expo features technologies that could keep your car
moving with fuel made from algae, heat and cool your home with solar power,
give the world clean drinking water and much more. This is an opportunity
to discover innovative, cutting-edge technologies developed by university
students and their faculty advisors, and learn what nonprofit organizations
and government agencies are doing to advance sustainability. The competition
will culminate in an awards ceremony to highlight the projects selected to
receive EPA’s P3 Award with a possible $75,000 grant. The Expo is free
and open to the public. This year, the Expo is co-sponsored by the Cloud
Institute for Sustainability Education.
