Your Sustainable Lawrence University Update
Upcoming:
SLUG is now accepting applications for summer workers. SLUG helps to grow produce that is bought and sold by Bon Appetit in Andrew Commons and runs a community compost program. Contact Erik Nordstrom for details and the application. erik.n.nordstrom@lawrence.edu
What we’re doing:
- Last week 8 students attended The Wild Things Conference, a conference celebrating the region’s nature and how people enjoy and protect it, with funds from the Student Sustainability Fund.
- Composting is now available in most major residence halls. Even the RHD’s have compost bins in their apartments!
- Lawrence is diverting waste from the landfill, we just received our first order of refurbished office chairs that will prevent us from buying new chairs made from raw materials and prevent used ones from being thrown away.
