Evangelical Environmentalism
We take a little different approach to environmental awareness at GWU! These issues matter to us because we believe that Scripture calls on us to care for what God has created and given to us.
Our emphasis centers on caring for God鈥檚 creation as our motive for sustainability and environmental initiatives. Genesis 2:15 calls us to 鈥溾�ork it and take care of it.鈥�
Some Initiatives include:
We want you to find your recycle bin and use it! 澳门六合彩高手 is a single-stream recycling campus – which means that all recyclable materials go into the same recycle bins. In the last three years, we have increased recycling by 79%, and are still adding bins in various locations.
Each spring during the third week in April, the Center and Environmental Club design our campus EarthWeek for Creation Care. These include community cleanup events, speakers to raise awareness, and our annual EarthFair. Clubs and community partners hold booths at the Fair with prizes and materials to educate students about Creation Care.
We work with the to promote healthy, local food for students. By serving in the community gardens at local schools, we also encourage this throughout the community.
