Sense of Place: Campus Tree Tour<\/u><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get to know the trees on the CC campus! Trees play a critical role on Earth. Numerous studies demonstrate that the presence of trees in communities have a wide range of benefits, many of which can be connected to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With all the benefits that trees provide in our urban landscape to the community, how often do we take a moment to stop and appreciate them? Take a wellness break from work and come explore CC\u2019s diverse tree species in the first-ever guided Campus Tree Tour presented by CC\u2019s Arborist Mike Spruce.<\/p>\n

Gordon Clark is a green programs intern. With the return of students to campus, Gordon has been working to extend the Green Room Certification<\/a> program to those living off-campus through the Green Home Certification program. The GHC program is a household-evaluation system with the goal of increasing education and action on how to foster sustainable living outside of CC\u2019s on-campus facilities.<\/p>\n

\nThe process is easy! Participating houses submit a completed checklist<\/a> of sustainable living practices on Summit. Once certified, houses will receive a plaque as well as a \u201csustainable home kit,\u201d which can include sustainably sourced detergent and cleaning products, reusable bottles for dish soap, loofah-sponges, and more. Thanks for helping our whole community practice sustainable living, Gordon! Contact Gordon (g_clark@coloradocollege.edu<\/a>) with any questions.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Diverting Waste at CC: Compost<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Composting organic matter is an excellent way to divert waste from landfills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but deciding which items should be composted can be confusing. Compostable items include food waste, paper products (such as paper towels and napkins), and paper food containers. Labelled compost bins and dumpsters can be found across campus. Please be mindful to follow the waste signage posted near each receptacle and deposit designated items ONLY<\/strong>; proper composting processes cannot occur if the load is contaminated with unacceptable items! Off-campus households can commit to composting by signing up for the Off-Campus Compost Program.<\/a> Learn more about diverting your waste at CC here<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
