| Description | In early 2008 we began formulating a Sustainable Campus Initiative. We wanted to pull together all of the good work being done on campus under one group, so as to avoid duplication of effort, understand all that was taking place in the classroom and in the boiler room, and to provide guidance to those wishing to learn more about sustainability. In late 2008 The BAC formed the Sustainability Council. |
