Creating an Environmentally Responsible College Campus

The main reason for this research project is to determine if there is a way to encourage sustainable student behavior on a college campus.  Lots of campuses are moving toward more sustainable practices, such as energy efficient buildings, but these practices aren’t always translated into a more environmentally responsible student body.  Over the course of the next two semesters, I will develop and conduct a survey with students at Texas A&M.  It will focus on their attitudes toward general green behavior and the best green practices on a college campus.  I believe a compromise can be reached between the student responses and green practices to creates a campus environment that encourages a more sustainable student body.
