Happy Earth Day 2016

Oneonta NY- Shanna Smith

Outside a typical dorm.

In this picture you can see the beautiful plants, trees, and green grass outside what we like call a typical residence hall. We celebrate earth day by making sure that the campus is clean, and there is no litter or unwanted items on the grounds.

When I spoke with students on the campus they said that they like to preserve energy by turning off lights, using special light bulbs, and making sure that they reuse plastic bags if they are happen to give them to them. A lot of people including faculty on this campus show appreciation to the earth by not printing out the papers students need in class. What they do instead is post what is needed online, where the students get the information but the paper is not being wasted. Because why not save trees!

As a reporter for this article, I have learned that SUNY Oneonta is a campus that is up on the times with helping the earth. We as a whole are doing everything we can to make sure that our campus is clean, and healthy for all!
