Walk the Talk.... Goshen College style

I felt that Goshen College did a pretty good job of walking the talk of things. In most of my science classes we defiantly talked about things that tied into environmental education and sometimes it would show up on tests, more in my environmental science classes. But my campus as a whole was defiantly aware of environmental education and the environment for that matter. We would always have people come from outside the campus to talk about the environment. For example, we had Dave O and Luke and Paul come to our campus to talk about the environment during chapel and convocation. GC did a very good job at getting well known people to come to campus and talk about environmental issues, like E.O Wilson, Bill McKibben, etc. I was a part of Ecopax (environmental club) that would put on events for people on campus to come to like earth hour (turn the lights off for an hour), 350 day, wild edibles, canoe race where people raced but also had to pick up trash in the Elkhart river. Ecopax would also join with other clubs to reach a greater audience but it incorporated environmental stuff. And last year GC finally got our dining hall to compost! We did a pilot run and it was successful so this upcoming year composting will be in place. So yeah I think GC walked the talk pretty good.
