\"SolarWhen people ask what sustainability measures Colorado College has initiated, do you point with pride to pervious paving? Compliment the composting program? Praise The Preserve? Expound enthusiastically on the environmental mobile lab and energy audits?
\nColorado College has a variety of sustainability initiatives in place, and to help increase awareness of them, the Campus Sustainability Council has launched the Campus Sustainability Virtual Tour: http:\/\/www.coloradocollege.edu\/welcome\/tour\/sustainability\/<\/a>. Links to the site are posted on CC\u2019s internal and external home pages, as well as the sustainability page.
\nThe online tour is the brainchild of George Eckhardt in facilities services, and Mark Lee and Jen Kulier in the office of communications. All three are members of the Campus Sustainability Council.
\n\u201cWe wanted to promote awareness to the campus community and the larger outside community as to what the various efforts are at CC with regards to sustainability,\u201d Lee said.
\n\u201cSo many things are happening on campus, and we wanted to locate all initiatives in one place,\u201d said Kulier. \u201cHopefully, the more people learn about it, the more they will get involved.\u201d
\nThe tour, which includes text, photos, video, and maps, has 16 major points of interest, as well as one called \u201cMore Sustainability Initiatives.\u201d Among the initiatives featured on the tour are the CC Student Garden, the solar panels on the Edith Gaylord Apartments, the car-sharing program, and water-saving landscaping. The online tour also includes an option for a printable version for those who want one.
\nThe online sustainability tour, which took about three months to create, develop, and post, is aimed at multiple audiences: the campus community, alumni, prospective students, and community members.
\n\u201cThis sustainability tour will be invaluable in communicating to everyone on how the broader college community is contributing to campus sustainability. I learned a lot from going through the tour myself,\u201d Eckhardt said.
\nThe format is similar to the CC historic walking tour (http:\/\/www.coloradocollege.edu\/welcome\/walkingtour\/<\/a>) which was launched in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
