A plan for an environmentally green water treatment plant at Ball State is still on hold, two years after its introduction. The proposal looks to build a BlueHouse — an alternative to traditional sewage plants that uses organic life to clean and recycle waste water. The university’s primary reason for holding the project is to focus on renovations to residence halls and the campus master plan. The plan also proposes that Ball State would save money it currently uses on sewage treatment.

A person from Oregon contacted her and told her to use PayPal to receive payment. She shipped the ring and two weeks later, she still had not received the money.
