Penn State Erie Strengthens Ecological Sustainability on Campus

Only a year ago, a campus group was established to develop strategies and programs to further ecological sustainability within the Penn State Erie community. In a recent status report, the Greener Behrend Task Force detailed 44 impressive accomplishments. The initiatives range from reducing paper waste in computer labs to beginning a water ecology education program with Pennsylvania Sea Grant. The college is also involved in efforts to develop a permanent campus ecological preserve and to have the campus recognized as an accredited arboretum.
