Campus wide conservation!

Campus Environment

Functions: This committee promotes environmental awareness, resource conservation, and public safety. It serves as a recommending body to the administration concerning safety and environmental issues. The primary goal of the committee is to make the University a safer place to work and study.

I am a member of the Campus Environment Committee and we just had our first meeting!

Some things I found out: the campus already uses environmentally friendly cleaners. We have a eye-glass recycling program through our Optometry Department. Also, there is tin can collection in Optometry!

It is exciting to know that NSU has already taken strides to become an environmentally friendly campus. I look forward to working with my fellow committee members. We talked about what the library is going to do and I will be writing an article about it for a newsletter that should go out on Earth Day- we're going to focus on what the campus is already doing to save the environment.
