Environment Committee 2024

The student Environment Committee has kicked off for another year with new leader, Bronte Sprotte, eager to maintain and build on our current programs as well as introduce a few new ones.

Acknowledging the impact of food waste on our greenhouse gas emissions, the committee will develop a new program to channel our food waste away from landfill and into composting also benefiting the various student gardening programs across the College. They will also relaunch their FLAWED initiative which aims to significantly reduce our electricity consumption by providing signals as people leave classrooms to turn off Fans, Lights, Air Conditioners, Windows, Electronic Boards and Doors. Other recent initiatives include the addition of the Return and Earn bottle recycling bins to the secondary campus Piazza as well as bins for pen and battery recycling in the library and the return of our well-received Fridays for Future program. We look forward to working with all members of the College community to support these and other programs as we work to raise awareness and reduce our impact on this fragile planet of ours.
