...simple idea that is not that simple to execute. At George Washington University, housing director Matt Trainum helps run a Green Move Out program that collects food, clothes and other goods to give to local charities. Bins are placed in the lobby of every residence hall, and student volunteers help sort through the piles. This year - the program's fourth - they have collected about 53,500 lb. (24,300 kg) of donatable goods, much of which would have gone straight into the trash in days of yore...

...Friedman once printed 50 or 60 copies of a photo that one of their other roommates found embarrassing and taped them to every possible surface in their suite (and put a couple up in Annenberg). On another occasion, he covered a roommate’s room in miniature green army men. In spite of his severe and progressing condition, Friedman remained committed to being a normal college student. On top of his regular course load during his freshman year (his illness forced him to scale back slightly on his classes this fall), Friedman worked at a cancer research...
...development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs. We will open centers of scientific excellence in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and appoint new Science Envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, and grow new crops. And today I am announcing a new global effort with the Organization of the Islamic Conference to eradicate polio. And we will also expand partnerships with Muslim communities to promote child and maternal health...
