10'x10' cubes to showcase sustainable practices to visitors and the community. After meeting with GreenTown, The Green Club, and interested residents, students selected the preferred and most feasible models, and designed, built and delivered four cubes as a gift to the community. The cubes are located on the lot adjacent to the GreenTown office. The "Ice Cube" collects rainwater on the roof, purifies it through two ceramic filters, and dispenses the water through a conventional drinking fountain. The "Watering Can" showcases a composting toilet, solar hot water heater, and rainwater catchment system. The "Recycling Bin" demonstrates a small-scale wind turbine and provides information on how to sort recyclables. (Students from The Green Club assisted in the building of this cube at KSU.) The "Green Haus" showcases an array of eco-friendly insulation options that people can use in their homes or businesses.
