Going Green @ Haverford

Unicycle Lane??

As part of our participation in the AASHE STARS Survey, we’re asking how you get to work. A link in Wenesday’s Daily Digest and March 24 Founder’s Bell will take you to the survey where you will be asked one question. Yes, you got it right, one question. Honestly, if it takes more than five seconds you’re doing something wrong. Of course, as always, participation is much appreciated. Any problems please contact me at ckent@haverford.edu.

We’re asking all responses to be in by April 8, 2011.

Some strange things are going up on the grounds at Haverford College. As part of the construction of the Kim and Tritton Dorms, storm water measures are being taken to slow down the flow of water onto the construction site. Originally, contractors had wanted to trench through the orchard to catch runoff before it hit the site. Luckily for us we caught it in time and Plan B was put into the place. The “sock”, conveniently in Haverford Colors (we’re not sure if it was intentional or not), was filled with mulch and staked into place. In the drab winter landscape it certainly is eyecatching.
