Students
Student Climate Commission
Bard's Climate Commission co-chairs, Spencer Lawrence and Ted Hall, have created a subcommittee to help carry out Bard's promise to reach climate neutrality.
BERPs
Bard Environmental Resource People are student volunteers who are charged with increasing sustainable behavior within the residence halls.
BERPs - Move In - Check your bins - do you have all you need to recycle and re-use: green, red, and Barry? Set up a cardboard box to recycle special streams like cell phones, ink jet cartridges and old batteries. Alternatively, set up a way to collect plastic bags so they can be recycled at Hannaford? Better yet - remind your hall that if you bring a re-usable tote bag to Hannaford, you get five cents off per tote! (2 cents off if you bring in a plastic bag for re-use). Make sure people understand to flatten their cardboard boxes so they can be recycled (and to throw out peanuts and styrofoam).
Spring semester - help your hall with Recyclemania - make a sign, knock on some doors, speak with your Ararmark worker...! We recycle 25% of our waste stream - leaders recycle nearly 50%. let's climb that ladder!
MoveOut -Feed BARRY the blue bin using blue bags (available from Aramark or Natalie) and pack up unwanted items for FreeUse! P.S. Barry is allergic to undergarments.
Bulb Swap - in 2007 BERPs and The EC swapped out enough bulbs to save over $1600 in one year!
