JWU's Green Initiatives: Leading the Way to a Sustainable Future
Sun shining, horns honking, cityscapes; only the students rushing back and forth from class to club, from dining hall to dorm, serve as a reminder that you are, in fact, on a college campus. Some students chat and scroll their phones on the bench that sits on “Sustainability Way,” the pathway between Wales Hall and the Richmond parking garage. They sit beside signs that shout accolades reading “Bee Campus” and “Tree Campus USA”: praises of sustainable practices that go hand in hand with the bench itself, made from 1,000 lb. of plastic recycled by the Johnson & Wales Energy Conservation Office (ECO). Not only are you smack dab in the middle of a college campus in a buzzing downtown – it’s a college campus committed to a cleaner future.
