Simpson College Aims to Eliminate Carbon Footprint

Posted by kherzberg on October 23, 2008

Simpson College has taken steps toward reducing its carbon footprint and creating sustainability awareness. In addition to building on the Environmental Awareness Club’s recycling program, President Byrd joined administrators from 400 schools in signing the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment, as described in The Simpsonian.

Byrd also hired Indianola mayor Jerry Kelley in an effort to bring both the campus and the community together in protecting the environment. A sustainability committee, composed of faculty and students and led by Byrd and Kelley, meets twice per month to discuss ways to improve the program, and to make certain everyone’s committed to the environment.
