Eye Opener: Photo Essay

    For this project, I searched all over a college campus to find out all the ways that they are trying to be sustainable and eco-friendly. I found many things, which is great! Here I will show you a few pictures of what I saw...

Water saving toilet in the on-campus apartments 

Friendly reminders to turn off the light when you leave the room















Recycling bins located all over campus in addition to the small ones near trash cans










Places where you can safely get rid of your old electronics










High speed hand dryers to reduce paper waste











In this bathroom the lights are motion-sensory, so they help save electricity by not leaving the light on constantly













The library uses sustainable paper for all their reciepts













All across campus there are solar-powered compacting garbage cans

  1. I think that it's great that the school is actually making an effort to be more green. I'm sure that there are even more ways than what you have posted here that the school is doing to be more environmentally friendly. I'm curious though, where is that bathroom that you have pictures of? I have never seen it before.

  2. This is exciting to see what our school is doing to be environmentally friendly! Where can you leave electronics? I know that would be helpful for a friend of mine!

    Great job searching for these items! It would be cool if we could share these things with other Universities so everyone can be a little more Eco-friendly!

  3. I love that bathroom! I wished every bathroom had one of those new fast hand dryers. I've only seen one of those on campus so far. The U of M TC has more of those around their campus.
