Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
Sustainable Living at the Pink House
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Beginning in Fall 2016, the “Pink House” at 99 Alexander Street in Forbes College has served as a sustainable living and learning community for a group of upperclassmen. The goal of the group has been to promote sustainable behaviors, publicize sustainability-related issues, and engage the campus and local community with Princeton’s natural environment. The community emphasizes social justice by demonstrating sustainable practices that are feasible for everyone such as low-cost vegetarian dinners at regularly-hosted events. As a house, the community practices sustainable daily habits such as air-drying laundry and minimizing water usage for showers. Events for the upcoming semester include installing a rain barrel as an alternate water source, and inviting local elementary school students for a tour.
