About Greening of the Campus |
The Vision |
| The Greening of the Campus
was an interdisciplinary
conference focusing on the integration of sustainable practice and
teaching
into the university environment. It allowed people representing diverse
areas in university communities to share information on environmental
issues.
These areas ranged from the practical day-to-day management of the
physical
plant to Green curriculum development and the Green utilization of
campus
resources. These many diverse areas are mutually bound by a common
concern
for achieving environmental soundness through the safe and sane
management
of resources. The vision of the conference is for campus communities
nationwide
to become Green models for society as a whole. Some 200 participants
from
25 states and 5 countries joined in this effort.
As examples, submissions included papers regarding integrated core curricula, multi-dimensional ecological literacy, university-centered student projects, and the role of the university as an interdisciplinary resource for bio-regional stewardship. In addition, presentations were made on environmental campus initiatives, administrative actions, business strategies, operational practices, campus reforestation, ecologically-based planting strategies and the construction, delivery and maintenance of energy efficient, Green facility design. Workshops were also held to engage participants in forming action plans. The proceedings of the conference are available through CERES. |
