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.
