What shall we do (Shoreline Community College Faculty Members and Students)?
Payne: First we can look for changes in campus operations, both in terms of construction, energy use, transportation, [and] resource use (garbage and recycling). All of these actions relate to the campus carbon footprint, the environment impact of the college. We can look for ways to reduce those impacts that hopefully makes economic sense and takes into count the impacts on the environment, other people, and other generations, what are called externalities. Beyond our campus operations, we are an educational institution with a vision of educating and changing the world. We have to do more than just recycling on campus. For example, we need to integrate knowledge and understanding of the environment and sustainability into the classes that we teach, and the ways we learn. What we have done so far? Payne: We have an energy efficiency demonstration project on the campus called the The Zero Energy House and the new PUB is being built to meet energy efficiency and environmental standards.
