Charging Document for the Environmental Committee

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.”
