Greetings and salutations!  The Green Team is back and excited to get this semester started!  Interested in joining our team?  We coordinate efforts at the college to reduce the college’s carbon footprint, maintain sustainable practices, seek funding to carry out initiatives, and coordinate the college’s efforts with other colleges and institutions.  Our first meeting is Friday, September 5th at 1:30 in G10.   Come on down!  We’ve had a busy year and have much more planned in the months to come!

The BCC Green Team loves lots of things.  Here are some highlights:

• BCC LOVES COMPOST!  Kevin Kennedy and his amazing cafeteria crew have been at the forefront of the campus’ Zero Waste initiative by implementing a composting program!  Click here for more information!
• BCC LOVES SHREDDING (and not just on guitars, although that’s fun, too!)  Keep an eye out for a Fall shredding event!  With Hawthorne and Melville renovations just around the corner, now is a perfect time to start cleaning out those files and offices!
• BCC LOVES ITS BLOG!  Sign up for campus updates, tips & tools on reducing your environmental impact, events in the area, volunteer opportunities, celebration of environmental holidays like Earth Day and World Water Day, and other delightful mishigas.
• BCC LOVES ITS PEOPLE!  We are an awesome group of friendly, funny, intelligent, and resourceful faculty, staff, administration, community partners, and student representatives.  We just might be the best people ever.

If you have any questions or ideas and would like to get involved, please contact our team chair, Charlie Kaminski at ckaminsk@berkshirecc.edu.
