'Go Green!' at Hiwassee College
December 3, 2007
Hiwassee College has become a partner in the TICUA Go Green! Project, an initiative supporting college efforts to be good environmental stewards. The project, created by the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association (TICUA), provides training and other beneficial resources to support college efforts to be good environmental stewards.
TICUA Go Green! creates a
relationship with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the
agency’s "College and University Compliance Incentive Initiative." The
innovative agreement includes "peer-audits" as an approach to
environmental education and sustainability.
The peer-audit environmental component allows participating colleges
and universities to collaborate, helping one another in assessing their
campus environments, identifying avenues to further improve the campus
environment. The program is modeled after one set up by the Association
of Independent Colleges and Universities in Pennsylvania.
