GREEN ENTHUSIASM: The Sustainability Open House at the University spurred conversations about environmental initiatives and showcased information from research projects. Student groups, professors, researchers, and University staff were on hand to speak about the greening of the campus. |
More than a hundred students crowded the lower level of the Frist Campus Center at Princeton University for the Sustainability Open House last Wednesday. Environmental groups, university personnel, professors, and researchers spoke with those in attendance about topics like water quality, sustainable materials, compact fluorescent light bulbs, bicycle culture, and environmental justice.
“I really want to motivate people to make health a priority in their lives,” said Gail Everett, an avid power walker, exercise enthusiast, and lifelong resident of Princeton. She’d been venturing into the community since 1986 to get the word out about the importance of exercise and proper nutrition, and had been lamenting the lack of free health programs in Princeton. Until now.
