Sustainability Ideas for USU
Post ideas here that you think may benefit the university. Things you'd really like to see, or things the administration may have missed in its planning.- I know someone who worked in the LARC (Lab Animal Research Center) on campus for a while, and mentioned that they're still using incandescent bulbs to light the place. Specifically, a lot of high-wattage bulbs (150 or 200W each). I know they could retrofit that place with new lighting and save a bundle. --Jesse W

from a e-zine I receive:
U Minnesota Morris Pursues Carbon Neutrality by 2010 The University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) has partnered with McKinstry, a construction, engineering, energy services, and facilities management firm, to help it become the first carbon neutral university in the Midwest, a goal it hopes to achieve by 2010. http://www.1105newsletters.com/t.do?id=2626378:376237 |

Since the primary source of pollution in Cache Valley is cars... lets do something to cut down the traffic to and from USU everyday. My suggestion is having web-cast classes. This is not the same thing as distance ed classes. There would still be an actual lecture in a classroom on campus. Students that want to attend have the option. However, for students that have to commute long distances, they would be able to attend the lecture as well... via a web-cast. There are all kinds of cool ways to make this an interactive process. Students watching the lecture from home could still ask questions. The format of the class would not have to change.
Does anyone think this is a feasible idea? |

In what way should sustainability be weaved into USU breadth courses? Should there be a top-down directive to specifically address issues of sustainability in classes. or should it simply be left up to individual teachers? These courses include USU 1300 (U.S. Institutions), 1320 (Civilizations: Humanities), 1330 (Civilization: Creative Arts), 1340 (Social Systems and Issues), 1350 (Integrated Life Science), and 1360 (Integrated Physical Science). Should sustainability be taught in these courses, or should new, separate courses be set up instead? Please add your thoughts!
