Sustainable Campus

    We want our campus to be a living model of an environmentally sustainable community.  To help us make this a reality, an assessment of our campus' natural resource use is underway.  We're working to pull together information about electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and water use.  Our current goal is to determine how much is used in each building on campus.  Then we will investigate practical ways that we can reduce our utility usage.  We are also exploring our options for reducing waste, improving our recycling program, and raising the environmental awareness on our campus.
