Colleges and Universities are catalysts for change. Use a model for cultural change implementing green
concepts on both Micro and Macro Levels Develop Partnerships to work together on your Initiative to
Teach, Promote, Sponsor, Market, and Organize Events Begin with a "Stop, Start, Continue” approach to plan changes Know your limitations, do what you can do now and do what
others are doing based on real results and data. Develop a long range plan and incorporate changes in
projects when it makes sense and funding incentives are available.
