Sustainable Earth Budget
FY2012 (July 1 2011 - June 30, 2012)
Sustainable Earth aims to encourage Carnegie Mellon University and the Pittsburgh Community to actively practice ways of living sustainably. We also aim to network with other organizations, on and off-campus, who are interested in strengthening environmental initiatives in Pittsburgh. We organize participatory community events and volunteer activities open to all, such as: The Environment Today, a student-developed course on current environmental issues; trips to local sites of interest to learn or volunteer; work days in the community garden we maintain; a campaign to reduce the use of bottled water (and other plastic waste) on campus; a campaign to promote and introduce more local, sustainable, organic food options on campus; a campaign for alternative energy systems on campus; our sustainable design and build group's projects; trips to national conferences and competitions; Environmental Leadership Programs; and other activities that educate the campus and Pittsburgh Community.
