Try “Sustainable Student Guidelines” in your Syllabi

 By Environmental Advisory Committee. 

As the Environmental Advisory Committee prepares for another Great BC Paper Chase this winter, we invite you to include the Student Sustainability Guidelines statement in your course syllabi. Please adapt the following guidelines as you choose.  Email sustainability@bellevuecollege.edu to let us know so we can keep count and acknowledge you!

 

Student Sustainability Guidelines: Students are expected to make decisions that have the smallest environmental impact while maximizing student learning. This includes:

  • Think before printing documents for this class, print double sided, adjust the printable margins and reuse any paper as scratch paper.
  • Turn in papers electronically or when necessary turn in printed assignments double sided, single spaced and using small margins of at least .75 inches.
  • Turn off the lights in empty classrooms and do not study alone in classrooms or without permission.
  • Recycle all paper, bottles and cans and compost food and materials from the cafeteria.
  • Adjust the power settings on your personal computer so the monitor and CPU will sleep after 20 minutes of inactivity and unplug personal all electronic devices when not in use.
  • Subscribe to Sustainability at Bellevue College and get involved!
