Project: Campus Sustainability
Max Harper developed a Sustainable
Living Theme House at Colorado College to engage students
and administrators in environmental sustainability and to build
a community epicenter of campus
activism. The successful model has been adopted by the college
and expanded to a dormitory for
the new school year. Max has also championed the introduction
of organic food at the campus
cafeteria and a switch to post-consumer recycled paper. "It
is my goal to create an environment that
not only enriches its members educationally," he said, "but
also ethically, preparing them to become
healthy, environmentally conscious members of tomorrow's society."
