Environmental House

As a newly minted faculty member at Bucknell, I’ve been quickly pulled into all the good work being done by the Environmental Center.  This includes the upcoming 35o Climate Action Festival with some great speakers and events.

I’ve recently been asked to be the faculty mentor for the ultra cool Environmental House where they try to live more sustainably by paying attention to shower times, organic foods, composting and other environmentally friendly practices.  This group was recently featured in a Philadelphia Inquirer story on what they’re up to.  Go Enviro House!  They join an increasing number of college students who are interested in the topic of changing their own personal practices (via).

Next up, getting the new BU buildings to LEED certified!
