Recycle
Have you ever thought about how much schools could do if we figured out a good way to recycle even paper? We did. That's why we rock.
Re-Think
If you want your recycling program to work, you need people to have buy-in. Learn more about how we engaged our faculty, staff, students, and community!
Renovate | Change Your Space
Here are some of the changes we made to the building:
- The buildings have been renovated to maximize the use of sunshine
- The buildings have been fitted with automatic lighting and water facilities
- The buildings’ lights have been replaced with ultra-low power fluorescents
- Solar panels have been installed for every building to maximize use of solar energy
Maximizing the use of sunshine means that there is less of a need to use artificial lighting. The automatic lighting and water facilities allow us to conserve what was mostly wasteful usage of these resources. As a result of this change we estimate the savings in energy costs to top $2M over 5 years. Geez Louise!
The lights have been replaced with low power fluorescents. Some rebel faculty members are bringing in their own lights. We have a search and seizure unit that goes around and confiscates these materials.
Solar panels, well we're not sure how they help but darn they're pretty.
