Exercise 2

Working with classmates, conduct an ecological footprint analysis of your campus. Work with a partner, or in small groups, to research and investigate one or more aspects of your school, such as recycling or composting; water use; food service practices; energy use; building management and energy conservation; transportation for both on- and off-campus trips; or grounds maintenance. Depending on your school and its location, you may want to add more areas to the investigation. You can also decide to study the campus as a whole, or to break it down into smaller research areas, such as dorms, administrative buildings, classroom buildings, grounds, and other areas.
Arrange a meeting with school officials to share your action plan with them.
