The For The Short Term

I am glad to present our report on “Analysis of Centennial College’s Online Portal”. I would like to thank you for being available to help at all times. I would also like to thank Taranjeet Kaur for her collaborative work on this report.

For example, children could submit papers and other typed assignments online. Teachers could also promote smaller fonts and larger margins for projects they want us to print. The school could also charge less money for printing double sided (15 cents per double sided page vs. 20 cents per 2 pages). This would halve the paper we use in printing. Moreover, the school could also make the attendance online. As every week every teacher wastes a sheet of paper this could drastically reduce the schools paper usage. Finally, we could promote GOOS paper and writing on both sides of every sheet as well as always recycling. If we follow all this, our school could become extremely environmentally

Oberlin college is ranked as the 4th greenest college in America by popularmechanics.com, and it makes sense. It incorporates sustainability into its curriculum, but it also uses brand new technologies, such as solar panels and electric cars. Campuses that are more sustainable seem to have two main characteristics. The first is they are often in more rural settings, and usually use this setting to their advantage, by having big farms and creating nature reserves. The second is that they invest in more environmentally friendly technology before other colleges. Most colleges in the United States are attempting to become more sustainable, but many are taking the wrong approach to doing so. For example, USC is making efforts towards becoming more sustainable, and while some of these efforts are valid, many merely appear to be so that USC market itself as more sustainable. Colleges that put an emphasis on using new, more sustainable technologies tend to be more sustainable than those that simply try to spread the ideas of sustainability. While creating an environmentally conscious student body is important, it may not be achievable everywhere.

While part of these school’s successes in the realm of sustainability can be attributed to their location, they also take advantage of new technologies they have invested in.

Web usability plays a pivotal role which can actually effect the profit of a company. It should be valued that a qualify web site can provide simple but attracting interface that allowing users to catch their needed information effectively and efficiently. Otherwise, once the customers realize that it is hard to find the needed information or the product they want to buy, they are likely to quit the size. Unfortunately, not all the companies understand the importance of this theory.

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).

Every year, over 34,000 students attend North Carolina State University, which creates over 90,000 local jobs and contributes over six billion dollars to the state’s economy. The universities helps to create and produce skilled graduates, successful companies and innovative technologies. There are over 9,000 staff and faculty who help train students to meet tomorrow’s challenges. Together, they forge powerful partnerships with government, industry, and academia to remake our world for the better. For example, North Carolina State University is one of the academic leaders in reducing climate change and nuclear proliferation through developing clean energy and manufacturing alternatives. The university’s Sustainability Office strives to reduce energy consumption and reduce solid waste to

The drought in the western United States is a nationwide concern that directly affects every person in California. It is every person’s responsibility to use water sustainably and no college, including the University of Southern California, is an exception. Rather than lagging behind sustainable water usage, USC should be at the forefront of it. On the surface of USC’s environmental sustainability campaign, it seems as if they are making sweeping changes; however directly under the first layer of facts there are holes in their plan. If USC made small changes to both their resident hall and landscaping water use, they could not only save money but also better USC’s environmentally friendly status. Regardless of whether or not California is in a drought, USC should still strive to be a model for water sustainability because it would not only better the school’s reputation of being a green university, but it would also save money.

The University of Montana's carbon neutrality goal by 2020 is fast approaching. The purpose of our class project is to help the university discover potential ways to move towards its goals at a more accelerated pace. Since our campus is a large establishment naturally we have a large carbon-footprint as well as a larger consumption of energy. As it stands, the general campus is somewhat concerned with the sustainability goals of the university. However the primary concern is within the environmental related departments.

As college student completing my degree through an online format I am making a considerable smaller carbon footprint when compared to those students pursuing their degree through normal methods. I am considered a non-traditional student and therefore I would be commuting to and from school every day which contributes to the unavoidable pollution from operating a motor vehicle. I also produce less waste then a typical student due to all my assignments, papers and exams are all completed electronically which produces zero trash that either has to be recycled or taken to a dump.

This paper will concentrate on two web sites. The fundamental difference between the two is how much one advertises, and how the other sets the viewer in the right direction. The better of the web sites, in my opinion, is the one

By utilising these schemes a total reduction of 408.9 gha and 0.1 planets is achieved. While this is a modest reduction these strategies, when implemented on a university wide scale, could dramatically reduce the overall footprint of the university and aid in meeting the ‘One Planet 2030’ Goal.
