Student Tribune
October is Campus Sustainability Month
The MCC Sustainability Steering Committee wants to bring to your attention
some of the activities that are taking place or have taken place on campus
during Campus Sustainability Month (October).
Campus Crunch - October 24: The New York Campus Crunch is a statewide
celebration of local food on college campuses. Sodexo joined in the celebration
by serving a variety of foods made from NYS home-grown apples.
Bike Fall 2019 - October 25: This activity was planned by MCC's Cycling
Council. The Council provided links to Ride Preparation Videos and publicized
the League of American Bicyclists Rules of the Road, as well as giving advice
on recommended gear/clothing in preparation for the 15 mile ride.
Sustainability Club - October 29: This student club is planning an event on
October 29 that will include a number of stations which will demonstrate the
use of recycled materials to make Halloween decorations.
Recycling Subcommittee: This subcommittee of the Sustainability Steering
Committee consists of students/faculty/staff who have been very active in
educating the college community on what is and is not recyclable and, among
other things, monitoring that the correct signage is posted near the numerous
recycling bins on campus.
Green Tips: Sustainability Steering Committee member Ann Penwarden continues
to publish informational articles on sustainability tips and ideas in the
Tribune that are easy to incorporate in our daily activities.
Surplus Office Supplies: This has been an ongoing resource for the college
community to use before ordering office supplies. There is a spreadsheet on the
M Drive that lists what surplus supplies are available and where they are
located.
