I have been meeting regularly with a group of Stellenbosch students who are interested in campus sustainability. They have now given themselves a name: "Sustainability Think Tank" or (STT) for short.
Today, we met with the Stellenbosch administrator who is responsible for developing a sustainability plan for the university. The students had developed two proposals: (1) that the administration develop a sustainability forum to which all stakeholders could bring suggestions and ideas and (2) that the university develop a sustainability scorecard similar to what I developed at Calvin College. Both ideas were accepted in principle, and the students were given the go-ahead to begin working on a scorecard. There will be a follow-up meeting with administration to hammer out scorecard details.
The students were thrilled at the outcome. Great stuff!
Catherine seems to be recovered from her recent cold. She went to daycare for the first time since last Thursday.
We learned that Mark's hockey game for tomorrow (Thursday) was cancelled. The opponents do not have a "C" team.
I called my parents tonight. They are staying in Kruger National Park at this time. They couldn't talk, because they were on a night drive with a ranger. I hope to hear from them tomorrow or the next day.
