Green Campus Day – To maximize participation, this effort was combined with the annual college picnic run by the student government.

Brochure – Designed to communicate information about the project and to generate campus interest.

Posters and signs – Contained information about the Green Campus Initiative, the mission statement, and some suggestions for getting involved.

 Recycling centers – Containers for plastic, glass, newspaper, and white paper were ordered for the cafeteria areas. They were arranged in a special “Recycle Center” area. White paper recycle containers were placed in every office, classroom, and library.

Environmental education in all GCC programs – In an effort to incorporate environmental awareness training into all courses of study, the team initiated a project to encourage staff and faculty to include at least one assignment per semester that pertains to the environment. They recommended four areas of environmental interest: new technology, pollution prevention, general environmental information, and environmental awareness.
