Greening the Center
Jonathan Cloud November 15th, 2014
Along with many other graduates, I believe it’s important for all of us to be aware of our ecological footprint on the Earth, and set an example of social responsibility. I am interested in exploring the possibility of a project to “green” Landmark’s South Plainfield center, find out whether other centers are having similar conversations, and discuss this question with the organization.
Some of the possibilities are:
- Developing an effective recycling program
- Analyzing the ecological footprint of the operation
- Conserving energy
- Minimizing waste
- Engaging staff and volunteers in designing ecological ways of conducting Landmark’s programs
- Creating an ongoing “customer feedback group” for the Center
- Exploring opportunities with the owner and facilities manager for the building and the complex, such solar canopies and/or rooftop arrays, motion sensor lighting in bathrooms, etc.)
P.S. Additionally I’d like to suggest exploring the possibility of providing a separate wi-fi access for guests and visitors to the South Plainfield Center, and would be happy to offer my services to explore this.
