Rasmussen Sustainability Manager Facilities Management |
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
LMU has piloted a composting project for 5 students who live in two of the on-campus apartment buildings, Leavey 5 and Leavey 6 during Fall 2011 and Spring 2011. Students had a training and set-up with the LMU’s sustainability manager. Students keep food waste in bins in their apartments and take food waste down to the nearby compost bin, outside the building, on a weekly basis where it is mixed with straw and water. LMU hopes to keep this project in place for all students interested in composting food waste and as an innovative project in the on-campus apartments.
