Description
With the launch of the President’s Climate Commitment in September of 2007, the college will be at the center of an effort among colleges towards reforms in infrastructure, technologies and decision-making processes reflective of much more globally sustainable models. The Center for Sustainability has been at the forefront of efforts to heighten awareness of the fundamental need to engage in a use of sustainability principles and practice in BSC. Much has been achieved in the arena of water and energy conservation here at the college. The roundtable discussion will seek to establish the nature of these recent efforts in energy and water conservation and will discuss ways in which these achievements might be used as examples of effective sustainable practice and learning in classroom environments of BSC. Further efforts will seek to develop a framework which would allow schools and municipalities in southeastern Massachusetts to benefit from our experiences.
