The sustainability package consists of four components that make it fully functional and off-grid capable: power, water, sanitation, and communication. Each of these features effectively minimizes the environmental impact while maximizing efficiency.

Elbow Room's Sustainability Package Upgrade was developed by Cameron Hughes.  

Cameron Hughes is from Brandeis High School and is Elbow Room's first student mentee.  Last year, Cami developed a Sustainability Package which enables the Elbow Room to function off the grid.  She presented to members of the NISD school board about her experience working with Elbow Room and the sustainability project she created.  Following her dynamic presentation, Cami was selected to participate in NISD's upcoming documentary about promising Senior year students as they prepare for college.
