TO: Environmental Committee
FROM: Lee Lambert
SUBJ: Charge for the Committee
Thanks to everyone for agreeing to serve on the
Environmental Committee.
This year I would like to expand the Environmental
Committee's focus to have responsibility for the
College's environmental leadership initiative and to
develop a process to seek input from the campus
community on how best the College could become an
environmentally responsible employer and educational
leader.
The goal of this Committee is to:
1) Assess the impact of climate disruption on
our campus and use this assessment to guide our
strategies in taking reasonable steps to reduce our
carbon footprint;
2) Assess what current learning opportunities
exist and discern what kind of new learning
opportunities may be explored;
3) Assess how we can partner with our
communities to build and foster environmental awareness
and responsibility.
4) Utilize the College Assessment Matrix to
develop a workplan consistent with the college's goals.
When the committee completes its assessment, I am
asking that it develop recommendations for Shoreline, in
conjunction with implementation of the commitments of
the Seattle Climate Partnership Agreement, which
Shoreline, as a founding member, has signed to uphold.
Please forward your recommendations to me no later than
April 13, 2007.
Enclosed are the Seattle Climate Partnership
Agreement and a Washington Center Publication,
"Curriculum for the Bioregion: Connecting What We
Learn to Where We Live."
