On-campus water use

Why do we have so much lawn area?

Rachel - appreciates better bike lanes, but recognizes that most facutly, staff, and students cannot bike or ride the bus to campus

2023-10-06 22:00:10 UTC

Rachel - gentrification is a problem in SC County and lower-income students are moving farther away for affordable housing, which increases commute times

Refillable water station at VAPA

2023-11-17 21:50:55 UTC

I have been pushing for a refillable water bottle station at VAPA where the two pretty nasty water fountains are

It’s near vending machines that don’t work and it’s so central to many buildings. It would be heavily used and appreciated by staff, faculty, students, administrators, and visitors.

I even envisioned writing a grant so we could pay students to create an eco-mural behind it since it would be in this perfect inset in the building

It would look fabulous and it would be seen on entering the arts facilities from the sesnon lot

I didn’t write the grant cuz it sounded like the school is in transition about how we handle filtered water on campus in a sustainable way.

But I’m happy to help in this area

Thx
