I found both websites to be intriguing and informative.  The AASHE website had some very neat programs, particularly the STARS program which is a tracking, assessment and rating system surrounding sustainability for universities and colleges.  It is imperative to see where your community stands, as well as other communities because it is important to constantly improve.  By providing these statistics for these schools, the people working to improve sustainability will know what areas they need to focus on more. 
Sustainable Carolina's website also provides many "green" programs.  I found the Greening The Mind program to be fairly interesting.  It sounds like they have some pretty cool activities to offer as well as interesting discussions.  The Recycling team also caught my eye because I have always believed in recycling.  There is no need to continue to waste the earth's resources when we can simply reuse what we already have extracted.
Question for Margaret Bounds: What is your favorite part about working with Sustainable Carolina, ie program, activities?
