Franklin And Marshall College Environment Analysis

First and foremost, one of the purposes of Live Green is it encourages all ISU students, faculty, and staff to be fully committed. Also, it engages to make our campus to have a “green” environment. It takes some challenges for those who join this program. It leads in sustainability among land-grant institutions. It also recognizes that the involvement and dedication of every member in ISU is necessary to achieve the goal. (About)

The quizzes raised my overall awareness of my carbon footprint, and brought to my attention the fact that I have a larger negative impact than the average person. To reduce my ecological footprint this semester, there are a couple of things I can do. First, I can start to recycle paper, glass, and plastic. As a college student who spends a lot of time on campus, it is practical to recycle because of the recycling resources that Texas A&M offers. The recycling containers with three stream receptacles are color coordinated and located all over campus, making recycling an easier task. Secondly, I could cut down on the amount of meats that I consume. Cutting out some forms of meat from my diet, especially beef or pork, would help cut out greenhouse gas emissions that are produced from animal agriculture. I am not a huge meat fan, and so this would not pose a problem. Additionally, I have the funds to purchase protein-based vegetarian food items. Lastly, I could walk more or take the bus more frequently. A lot of places are only a 2 to 5 minute drive from my house, and so it would behoove me to walk more. As a college student in a small college town, a lot of buildings and locations are fairly close to each other, and so walking is a realistic

In recent years, Florida International University has been known to advocate and implement environmentally efficient solutions throughout its numerous campuses. The original home of FIU, the Modesto A. Maidique Campus was initially opened in 1969 with only a few buildings. As was typical of the time, most of the construction and systems in place were not environmentally conscious. Over the years, many buildings were added, and when it came time to create a new academic research building in February 2013, one of the goals was to try and obtain LEED Gold certification from the US Green Building Council by implementing a multitude of environmentally-responsible features.

Dalton Public Schools is currently encouraging that all of its schools go paperless and begin to put all of its assignments and grades on a website called Canvas. This would be a remarkable idea to encourage its staff to be environmentally friendly. Normally, I would include students in my previous statement but while the laptops are a step in the good direction, they have their faults in terms of being environmentally friendly. These

Studies show that education, training, and incentives are causing university students to become more concerned with their environment and the environment of the next generation (Levy and Dilwali, 2000). Providing the opportunity to live in a sustainably built environment has become an important differentiating factor among universities around the world and is becoming increasingly important to students in terms of both how they adopt sustainable practices and their choice of a university. The majority of students and their parents are making acceptance decisions based on a university’s environmental commitment (Princeton Review, 2012). If the University of Central Arkansas would raise the facility fee, then the higher percentage rates

Grinnell College students, faculty, and staff have, for years, tried to make Grinnell College and its community more sustainable. Whether it has been through sourcing food grown locally and without fossil-fuel based fertilizers, advocating for LEED-certified buildings that conserve energy and water, or altering the College’s energy profile through the implementation of large-scale wind turbines, the College has focused on reducing harmful emissions while preserving standard of living (BMUB 2014).

The first change, installing new, energy efficient fluorescent where there are not currently fluorescent bulbs. This would cost around $300,000 to change to energy efficient lighting, based on the fluorescent bulbs that are already in place; an increase of about 1% of the budget needs to be contributed to this project. This is a change that will inevitable save the company more money that initial cost because energy efficient bulbs use less energy and last longer than their inferior counterparts (Business Victoria, 2015).

Becoming a responsible member of the City College environment should not be looked as a burden, but as a privilege as being an individual you is worthy enough to serve on such a capacity. A responsible member of the City College environment to me means that individual should be able to fulfill all of his or her duties. That individual should do what's best for the City College environment. I think that every student should be a responsible member of the City College environment. The City College environment can be viewed as a positively structured society that relies on its responsible members. In order for a society like this to function it needs its members to be responsible and work diligently together. If all students are able to do so

Powering the campus and at the same time reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. Georgia Tech has many categories on their sustainable energy research. With advancing their alternative energy and storage technologies by having fuel cells, solar energy, batteries, super capacitors and biofuels. The development techniques for their work are, by having their technology to reduce the many impact of energy and water usages and also being able to remove waste off the environment all together. For which helps out the health in the environment by keeping the air clean that everyone inhale. Also it’s to prevent any emergency situations and keeping the institution safe from health

An experience that has greatly influenced my understanding of the world has been my participation in Florida Atlantic University’s Pine Jog Fellowship. The Pine Jog Fellowship is a three-semester program that focuses on environmental improvement and education. In the Pine Jog Fellowship I have had the opportunity to develop my own environmental service projects that would benefit my community. During one semester of my fellowship, I coordinated beach clean-ups for Lake Worth Beach. I recruited over sixty people and collectively, we recycled and threw away over one hundred pounds of trash off of Lake Worth Beach. I also spoke to local fishermen and educated them on the dangers of throwing monofilament fishing line into the ocean. During the

We have become so diverse due to our ability to adapt to our surrounding environment. Our physical characteristics have gone from a singular region with fewer variables, to regions across the world where we were forced to adapt in order to survive. When the tribes commenced dispersion to different parts of the world, our biology shifted to suit the varying degrees of need for absorption of sunlight. While this is not the only cause of diversity, it played a major role in how we gather and process food, the climate of the location, and how our bodies change from differing jobs and activities that must be accomplished. We eventually developed mutations that would allow us to thrive all over the world.

One major change that could be made would be to replace paper towels in the bathroom with hand dryers. According to Restroom Direct, a hand dryer cost $159.00, so if the administration put hand dryers in eight of the Riverwood bathrooms, it would cost $1,272. On average, a hand dryer costs between .02 and .18 cents in electricity whereas a paper towel costs 1.00 cent on average per sheet, so using hand dryers would vastly reduce the amount of electricity used as well the amount of paper wasted. Another way the Riverwood administration could help the environment would be to start a composting program. This program could gain volunteers through a compost club and through partnerships with other clubs and societies like Beta Club and the National Honor Society so that students could receive service hours for helping with the compost program or donating needed materials. According to the Green Mountain Farm to School initiative, the necessary materials for starting a school compost program are at least five 5 gallon buckets, a scale, work gloves, 1 cart for housing buckets, a shovel, a supply of hay or manure, cloth rags, a compost thermometer, and sifting screen. The school could get many of these materials from donations but if they were to buy them, the price would be approximately $175.19. According to Amazon, five 5 gallon buckets would cost $52.35, a scale would be $15.95, a pair of work gloves would be $12.44, a cart would be $37.02, a shovel would be $14.94, a small bale of hay would be approximately $4.38 (according to the University of Wisconsin), a five pound bag of manure would cost $11.12, cloth rags could be donated by parents, a compost thermometer would cost $26.99, and a sifting screen would cost

Becoming environmentally friendly or going green may seem like the latest fad, but this new fad does create a variety of benefits. Applying an electronic recycling program to Bellarmine University creates a healthier environment for students, faculty, staff, and even community members. It would suggest that Bellarmine University is a leader in social change, and a promoter of public and environmental health. This campaign is designed to promote an electronic recycling program at Bellarmine University, by using a theoretical framework of Social Identity Theory, creating incentives for participation and using digital components.

recycling campaign. The only way to do that is to help make recycling appeal to more of the vast student population that currently attends our University. How might this be done? The University already places a recycling bin in every dorm room around the campus; anything more would exceed the current funding for the recycling project. Perhaps the institution of a recycling center at the Russell House could cause the impulse to become a habit. But, that would take too much money--with the salaries of workers and the annexing of what would amount to a new wing of the building--to consider for too long. Another solution could be to have the students elect a "recycling committee" to evaluate the problem and decide on the appropriate solution. However, I feel that with the current lull in our recycling campaign, even that would be ineffective. As an altrenative to these two solutions I propose that we, as students and faculty united, institute a plan that is so simple it is already in place in many of the high schools around the state. I propose a system of rewards.

Social Factors - The California Pizza Kitchen sells pizzas, pastas, salads, etc. and the ambience of the restaurants is quite informal and homely. Its primary key to its success has been that they were the first pizza restaurant that offered fresh and non-traditional ingredients for its pizzas. On a whole, the American consumer base is traditionally not very nutritional conscience when it comes to dining out. Regionally, the consumer preferences are suiting the business model of the company in most areas; however changes in the consumer
