A brief description of the campaign(s):
The college participates in the RecycleMania tournament waste minimization category. This competition looks at the lowest waste generated per student for the 10-week period of the tournament. In addition recycling related events encourage students to reduce waste. Campus Sustainability Day, America Recycles Day, and Earth Day events are three examples. We employee an Earth Science student to evaluate and map our stormwater system utilizing GPS/GIS technology, a Butterfly Garden was installed in cooperation with the Senace Park Zoo and included an educational program attended by 60 faculty, staff, students and visitors. Each fall we participate in the International Coastal Cleanup event sponsored by the American Littoral Society where students, faculty, staff and community members come out to learn about our watershed, the importance of preserving our natural resource: water and quantitatively record the amount of debris on our beaches. In the Introductory Environmental Science Lab, students do projects related to sustainability and produce videos that are posted on our webpages.
