Cary Green Week 2008
Cary Club goes Green
This year Purdue University is launching a week-long initiative to bring the campus community together in an effort to make Purdue more environmentally friendly and sustainable. At Cary Quadrangle, we are joining the campus-wide festivities with our own efforts to make Cary more environmentally friendly.
