1. Serve as the catalyst in your
community or region for educating
diverse audiences
about environmental stewardship,
sustainable development, and the
green
workforce - its expanding size,
capacity, and versatility.
2. Reduce your institution?s
carbon footprint. Appoint a task
force or coordinating
committee to conduct a
comprehensive greenhouse-gas
emissions inventory,
identify efficiency problems, and
develop strategies for addressing
them.
3. Make sustainability a defining
feature of campus culture and a
guiding principle
for management, planning,
resource allocation, programming,
research, and
professional development.
4. Join forces with leading green
community colleges or existing
regional/national
collaboratives to avoid reinventing
the wheel. Draw on their expertise
and
experiences and access their
resources on best practices and
strategies, innovative
teaching methods and curricula,
technical support, and networking
opportunities.
5. Tell your story on campus, in the
community, and in the media.
Promote your
college?s sustainability initiatives
and green workforce development
programs to
help generate enthusiasm and
support among students, faculty,
staff, alumni,
policymakers, the community, and
potential.
