Green Your Campus

Ongoing interdisciplinary course and program offerings related to sustainability, environmental studies and social responsibility. We work in partnership with educational institutions globally, and support and promote sustainable initiatives locally.  See: http://www.earthedintl.org.

The future is not somewhere we are going. It is something we are creating. Every day we do things that make some futures more probable and others less likely.

Global warming already disrupts millions of lives daily in the forms of destructive weather patterns and loss of habitat. What is already happening is only the tip of the melting iceberg, for it is our children and grandchildren who may suffer most from the effects of global warming. Hundreds of millions of people may be exposed to famine, water shortages, extreme weather conditions and a 20 - 30% loss of animal and plant species if we do not reduce the rate of global warming and reduce GHG emissions.On the other hand, having warmer winters means longer growing seasons in temperate and subarctic climes, sometimes allowing an additional crop to be planted and harvested each year, or simply making the existing crops more productive. This article outlines some ways that you can act to help prevent the Earth from warming further. While humankind has the ability to destroy the planet, we can also help protect and sustain it.

Reducing your carbon and greenhouse gas emissions will not only make your personal living space more sustainable but it will also save you money in both the short- and long-term. Global warming is occurring more rapidly than it was originally expected to. Only forty years ago, the big worry was global cooling. Even if you remain a cynic, however, and disagree with the consensus of scientists, you will benefit from reduced pollution, a more healthful lifestyle and increased savings from enacting these simple activities that will not reduce the quality of your life.

I have created a symbol for America in hopes of creating likability and relatability and soon credability through educating and encouraging students and faculty at my college about the relationships between humanity and the environment. We need to find a better way to live our lives in Synergy with our environment. I hope to transform the world views of people and inspire action. I am encouraging people to visit your websites and hope to found an association titled S.O.H. or Soldiers Of Humanity. My created symbol is a Super hero called Captain Synergy.

It is an action I've always thought about. I wouls want to have all people on the beach and on he treets of my home town, cleaning it of plastic bottles, papers, an other stuff that's in the streets, in the sea, on thebeach...everywhere. How come no one sees???

Hope some one can read this and follow me....that' my concern.

it would be inevitable to ask the world to act on the crisis we have.. it would be much vulnerable to know that within our selves we are doing something about it.. that simple act of caring the would translate to our surroundings, our home, our school, ouir society, our city and the world.. it is never to late to transcribe to a healthier living, its a matter of choice, a choice that needs an action to act on..

Recently, our school had a project named "Tree of life". This project yeids us to donate books for poor children and plant trees in deforested areas.

Heading a monthly newspaper recollection at my kids school, kids are actively participating and with the earnings we intend to make the school environmentaly friendly.

I'm giving environmental education to teachers, parents and kids at school.

I'm starting a reusable bag project 

11thhouraction.com has so many easy ways to help better our environment. It has so many links and resources to help save you green, by keeping our earth green!!

As an extension of the previously mentioned school project, I designed and produced an educational booklet, tailored towards children, describing the process and benefits of the three R's: Reduce, Reuse Recycle. The booklet (which was printed on recycled paper) was distributed through out my school's two other campuses. In addition, I gave presentations at both campuses to the student bodies reiterating the information described in the booklets. 

As part of a school project, I reintroduced the recycling system at my school's campus, replaced and added new recycling facilities to the campus and worked in conjunction with my school's student council and administration.
