Hats off to a Bright Green Future

Roland Saekow, a product design major at University of California Berkeley just graduated. He, like many students graduating this year, has been involved in pushing the sustainable agenda. He helped to pass the Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) legislation on his campus, which generates $200,000 annually for green projects at Berkeley. He taught the Joy of Garbage for six semesters to explore the impact of our waste on the past, present and future. To top things off he served as the waste reduction manager at his housing cooperative for four semesters.

The fact that there are waste reduction managers in college is mind blowing in and of itself but it was his final act of college that puts him ahead of his fellow graduates. His energy efficient graduation cap.

Roland added a solar panel and a wind turbine to make the worlds first graduating power plant. Check out Robert explain how it works.

and watch his graduation.

Congrats Roland and the new army of sustainable entrepreneurs across this nation.
