This integrated media series is about my interest in humanity’s ecological footprint; a measurement of society’s demand on the environment and an approach to sustainability. It is a balancing act of resource consumption and waste discharge, every action taken towards using nature’s resources has an impact on Earth’s ecosystems, however is society playing fairly, or are they misplacing the value of nature in the act of mass consumption?
Contribution of Women in Environmental Movement: An Overview by Sadaf MoosaSadafMoosa
The presentation covers the topic "Contribution of Women in Environmental Movement: An Overview", by Sadaf Moosa. It deals with the concept of Eco Feminism, environmental movement led by the women as well as legal battles fought by women to protect the environment.
This is a project outline for the creation of a School for Applied Cultural Evolution that works with the growing network of territorial hubs for bioregional regeneration being launched right now in Costa Rica. It’s purpose is to cultivate and continually improve learning ecosystems spanning across communities that organize their efforts around geographically defined locations where people strive to increase the functional capacities for their landscapes while simultaneously increasing the wellbeing of people living in harmony with them.

Edible Sustainable Landscaping at Clark University (Final Paper)Jenkins Macedo
Abstract
Edible sustainable landscaping is an important step toward sustainability in an urban environment. Replacing a traditional grass lawn with this type of landscaping would reduce water and maintenance requirements of an area of campus and would create habitat for animals as well as providing food for local wildlife, pollinators, and members of the community. The project sought to design a plot of edible landscaping on campus of Clark University and understanding faculty and staff attitudes and opinions toward the project. The methods used in this project included the exploration of secondary data on edible landscaping, field trip to UMass Amherst, interviews with six stakeholders, soil test analysis, plot and plants selection. The results indicated most stakeholders agreed that edible, sustainable landscaping at Clark would increase the institution’s approach to sustainability, foster students’ learning and encourage behavioral change through education, and collaborative partnership. Annual herbs, fruit-bearing shrubs, nutrient accumulating ground cover plants, and some trees are ideal for this type of landscaping. The soil test illustrated that the soil quality at the selected plot is low in important nutrients but lead levels are below hazardous limits so growing edible plants will not be a problem with the addition of compost. With the support of staff and faculty, one plot in Downing Street that is dominated by grass and difficult to mow was selected for this edible landscaping pilot project.

Sustainability is about more than recycling at top colleges
By Monika Joshi
One Indiana school is not only drilling its students on academics, but it's also drilling holes in its campus to tap geothermal
energy. A Vermont college is into burning wood chips as a way to save money.
What they share is a passion for environmental sustainability — operating in a way that uses renewable fuels and tries to
save money in the process. Interest in sustainability is particularly strong on college campuses.
Princeton Review, in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council, is out this week with its 2012 Guide to 322 Green
Colleges and finds in a separate survey that 68% of more than 7,000 college applicants told them that a college's commitment to the
environment would play a role in their decision to apply to or attend that ...

Greening the campus: contemporary student
environmental activism
Radical Teacher, Spring 2007
From Opposing Viewpoints in Context
In November 1992, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) issued a report entitled "World Scientists'
Warning to Humanity." Written by UCS Chair Henry Kendall and signed by 1,700 of the world's leading
scientists, including the majority of Nobel laureates in the sciences, the report's admonition was conveyed in
the strongest terms:
Human beings and the natural
world are on a collision course.
Human activities inflict harsh and
often irreversible damage on the
environment and on critical
resources. If not checked, many of
our current practices put at serious
risk the future that we wish for
human society and the plant and
animal kingdoms, and may so alter
the living world that it will be unable
to sustain life in the manner that we
know. Fundamental changes are
urgent if we are to avoid the collision
our present course will bring about. (1)
As Ross Gelbspan has documented, warnings issued by the UCS and similar groups were met with a well
funded and orchestrated corporate campaign of fake science, scaremongering, and political smearing that
effectively killed off efforts to address human beings' collision course with the planet's natural limits. (2) Nine
years after the UCS issued its stark alarm, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
unequivocally confirmed UCS claims concerning the unsustainability of contemporary industrial civilization's
growing levels of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon emissions have continued to rise notwithstanding both
the IPCC's report and the "World Scientists' Warning." The world, and, in particular, wealthy industrialized
nations such as the United States, must reverse course dramatically if cataclysmic environmental collapse
is to be avoided. Measures such as the Kyoto Protocol (1997), which essentially seek to cap emissions at
unsustainable levels, fail to address the coming crisis adequately. Indeed, recent estimates conclude that
developed countries will have to cut their emissions by at least 70 percent over the next thirty years if
temperatures are to be kept from rising above the danger point of two degrees centigrade in excess of pre
industrial levels. (3) This is clearly a massive task, one that will require a dramatic reorientation of both the
material and ideological underpinnings of developed and industrializing countries.
As those responsible for training the scientists, entrepreneurs, and opinionmakers of tomorrow, educators
in general and institutions of higher learning in particular have a critical role to play in this race to save the
planet for habitation by human beings and other species. Despite its important role as our society's primary
site of credentialization and putative moral pillar of our culture, academia has been disappoint ...
Triple Bottom Line: How Green Schools Save Money, Promote Health, and Improve...caiscalifornia
Why should schools develop a culture of environmental sustainability? With increasing environmental challenges in recent years, the “triple bottom line” applied to schools can help to save money, promote health, and improve achievement.
I took GEOG330 at UMD in the fall 2014 semester. The Sustainability Office's senior project manager, Mark Stewart, was invited to present to the class. The presentation was about strategies UMD is taking on making a more sustainable campus. The slides were bought to the class by Mr. Stwart, and was orignially posted on the class's ELMS site.

Clark University making composting commonplace around campus
1. Clark University making composting commonplace around
campus
Clark University is making great strides toward reducing its environmental footprint by installing
composting bins around campus, most recent in the Academic Commons at Goddard Library. This
high-traffic campus location was previously equipped with recycling stations for plastic, metal, glass,
paper, styrofoam, batteries and cardboard; however, Clark's sustainability experts knew there was
room for improvement.
"Composting is the perfect option for leftover food, paper napkins and coffee cups, which were
ending up in the garbage," said Jenny Isler, Clark's director of sustainability. "Our slogan is 'If it was
ever alive, you can compost it,' so we wanted to make it work in the Academic Commons where
there was a lot of opportunity."
The University presently diverts approximately 55% of its waste, up from less than 30% a few years
ago.
Clark first started composting food waste in the Higgins Cafeteria in 2007, following two years of
research spearheaded by a student. In 2011 the effort spread to the Bistro Cafe, which began
offering compostable containers and utensils. In the fall of 2013, Clark introduced composting bins
to the recycling programs in several residence halls and added composting to four more halls in
2014.
Clark Composts!, a dedicated student group, is the driver behind instituting and implementing
composting programs around campus. They receive support and guidance from Sustainable Clark,
Clark Eco Reps, the Student Sustainability Fund, Student Leadership and Programming, Physical
Plant, the Office of Residential Life, the Clark Sustainability Collaborative and the Clark Recycling
Crew.
"The students involved with Clark Composts! and the Recycling Crew make it their mission to get
more people at Clark to think about what they throw away and the affect their actions have on our
planet and our community," said Isler.
They have been successful at increasing composting locations on the Clark campus and have made it
2. incredibly convenient and easy for members of the Clark community to participate."
Changing routines and habits sometimes takes a
great deal of time and energy.
"These students are not only changing behavior,
they're changing hearts and minds along the way,"
said Isler. "They have demonstrated collaborative
leadership in sustainable change."
Clark Composts! will focus next on instituting
composting in the newest residence hall and in the
academic departments while increasing awareness among the Clark community. The University is
also taking steps to ensure this year's Spree Day is a "zero waste" event for the first time ever in
Clark history.
Clark won the MassRecycles award for three years in a row for its waste diversion success and has
been named an EPA Regional Champion in the Food Recovery Challenge for its composting
initiatives. Clark students routinely travel to other campuses and high schools to share the success
of our sustainability programs and efforts.
Founded in 1887 in Worcester, Massachusetts, Clark University is a liberal arts-based research
university addressing social and human imperatives on a global scale. Nationally renowned as a
college that changes lives, Clark is emerging as a transformative force in higher education today.
LEEP (Liberal Education and Effective Practice) is Clark's pioneering model of education that
combines a robust liberal arts curriculum with life-changing world and workplace experiences.
Clark's faculty and students work across boundaries to develop solutions to complex challenges in
the natural sciences, psychology, geography, management, urban education, Holocaust and
genocide studies, environmental studies, and international development and social change. The
Clark educational experience embodies the University's motto: Challenge convention. Change our
world.
