Looking for Volunteers for Earth Day Event

Want to get your hands dirty for Earth Day? The Environmental Stewardship Committee is looking for volunteers to help with the 2011 trash audit on Thursday, April 21, from 3:30-5:30pm. You might be surprised by how much of what goes into the trash is actually recyclable or compostable. The trash audit helps the school determine the success of our organics collection and recycling programs and figure out where improvements can be made.

Participating in the trash audit would consist of sorting through a week’s worth of waste to separate recyclables and organics from the trash and weighing the contents to determine the percentage of each type of material (gloves are provided!). Come and help us as we work to cut Augsburg’s waste, and have fun getting messy with other students who care.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Renee Van Siclen at vansicle@augsburg.edu.

Campus Transportation Survey - Respond TODAY

Throughout the week of April 11th -15th, the Augsburg Environmental Stewardship Committee is conducting a survey of transportation choices made by campus commuters. We urge all faculty, staff and students to respond to the survey at

http://augsburg.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_eyRIzLrDJJ4SkQY

All responses will be kept anonymous so please be as accurate as possible.

Commuter transportation is becoming a larger portion of our carbon footprint as we continue to reduce other contributors to our overall carbon emissions. In FY 2009 commuter transportation was 17% of our overall CO2 emissions. This survey will allow us to get the accurate up-to-date information for our FY 2011 green house gas emissions inventory to be completed this summer. If you have any questions about the survey, please contact Tom Ruffaner at ruffaner@augsburg.edu.

Thank you for your participation- we greatly appreciate your input!
