The law school wants to be more earth friendly and we’re beginning to organize to do something as a community. I just came from a meeting where we talked about the many ways the law school is going to implement green practices in our community. In addition to obtaining LEED certification for our new law building, here’s a sample list of some of the things we’re going to be doing:

• No more bottled water = we are installing water fountains with filters
• We are giving everyone in the community a reusable canvas bag for multiple uses
• We are adding more recycle bins at the law school
• We are encouraging people to use reusable cups and mugs
• We will put earth-friendly tips up on our message boards at the law school

The entire community is getting involved, from students to staff to faculty. We have a big kick off event on St. Patricks’s Day – good planning don’t you think?

If you have any ideas for going green, let me know. I’d love to know what you, your place of work and/or your family do to take care of our environment. If you come here, you’ll have the chance to put your ideas into action.
