Sustainability: Beyond Recycling and Green Buildings


The League for Innovation’s iStream site focuses on monthly themes and targets community college and higher education issues. The streaming videos include Keynotes from League Conferences.  To view an interesting session on sustainability from Innovations 2008,  go to the home page of iStream (HYPERLINK "https://www.league.org/istream"www.league.org/istream), log-in and at the bottom of the list click on “Sustainability: Beyond Recycling and Green Buildings” by Mary Spilde and Margaret Robertson.  Here is a description of the presentation:

“You have a recycling center and your new building will meet LEED standards. Now what? Lane Community College (LCC) asked itself this question and then engaged the campus community in an invigorating sustainability conversation resulting in multifaceted action toward economic vitality, social equity, and responsible environmental stewardship. The presenters describe LCC’s successful adoption of sustainability as a core value, explain how to build a culture for sustainability and how sustainability is being infused into the curriculum, and share strategies for implementation at your campus.”
