Greetings,
The Fort Lewis College Environmental Center is gearing up a great year! We are at a critical time in the history of our country and the history of our world. There is so much great work to be done, so many exciting changes that are now within our reach. The Environmental Center brings students together to make change happen -- on the Fort Lewis College campus, in Durango, and across the Four Corners. In the process, students learn skills that they can apply to create change once they graduate, spreading the influence of the EC far and wide.
This year we will be helping Fort Lewis create a sustainability action plan to guide the College as it seeks to become a greener campus. Part of this plan will lay out a timeline for becoming a "carbon neutral" institution. We will also be collaborating with the Garden Project of Southwest Colorado this year to help mobilize around community gardens. We will continue to develop a new youth leadership program. This weekend is the retreat for the LIFE (Learning to Invest in the Future of the Earth) program. And in November we will help release the Be Local Coupon Book, which will help jump start a new independent business alliance for La Plata County. All these projects are expressions of our core values: positive action, integrity, community, creativity, and learning. Ben Rogers, our communications coordinator, will be posting a movie we've made about our core values on this blog next week. Check back to see our Core Values Super-heroes in action!
