Announcements
5R Recycling Event The Council decided another 5R recycling event would be a good idea. Kristi will contact them about doing this on the 27th, during Earth Day activites.
Earth Day 2012 The Council discussed timing for this year’s Earth Day. Events could take place April 25th-27th. A list of potential activities to incorporate into Earth Day this year include Student Senate Legacy Project, Arbor Day observance (required for Tree Campus), Student Research for Science Day, and a mural painting project. Heather will be invited to a meeting to discuss more ideas after break.
Campus Recruiters, Tony and Melissa, will join us for our next meeting. The Council looked at the recruiting website and discussed ways we could easily incorporate sustainability into their existing webpage. Ideas include:
· Posting a link under their “contact info” to the Campus Sustainability Map
· Posting sustainability facts under “Why LSC?”
· …Somehow linking to the EC blog
· Including 1 page or incorporating sustainability into existing brochures
Ideas for orientation include:
· S- and H-Building LEED tours
Sub-Committee Reports
New Business
Re-use room for H-Building move The Council discussed options for housing a temporary re-use room to use for health/biology departments’ unwanted equipment/supplies. E2102 (currently MLT Lab) seems like a good option, as it may not be put back into use soon after MLT moves. Kristi will email Mark, Rody, Wade, Mary, and Pat about using this room and ask for a timeline.
Tree Campus USA application has been put on hold. The timeline for December completion is too tight and Committee members are busy at this time.
EC Work-Study Kristi will forward a formal request to Wade to send to Mark to get work-study hours for next semester. When hours are decided, the Council can work on a position description.
Old Business
Deanne gave a Waste Wise Annual Meeting Report. Some highlights included ideas relevant to our mission, like self-identified “green team members”, possibly having individuals or offices sign a pledge. Stickers identifying these individuals/groups could be put on doors. Developing the pledge, then having it available at tables during SS Day and Earth Day will be a future project, possibly for a work-study.
