Campus Environmental Audit
If you want to understand how sustainable your campus is, the first step is to gather data. A campus environmental audit can be a huge, professionally executed task, but you can make a reasonable approximation if you work with your class to gather some basic information. Among the many places to find established listings of factors to consider, one widely used audit is that of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. You can find details of their full audit system online, but you can do a simplified version yourself or in collaboration with others in your class. Factors involved in an audit include building efficiency, transportation alternatives, waste management, dining facilities, administrative actions, and other factors. How sustainable is your school? Go to Connect to find a basic campus environmental audit. Then you can collect and evaluate your own data to find out.
