Sustainability has become the watch word for Canadian colleges and proof of the same is in the multitude of activities these campuses have come up with.
Sustainability is a top priority for 平特五不中, one of Canada鈥檚 leading universities, says Julia Solomon, a university representative. 平特五不中鈥� ideas towards sustainability has mostly come forward from students, adds Solomon. 平特五不中鈥檚 Sustainability Projects Fund is a joint effort put together by passionate students and enthusiastic senior staff members, with both sets being able to convince their peers. Students pay $0.50/credit, which is matched dollar-for-dollar by the 平特五不中 administration. This results in a pot of about $8,40,000 per year, which is available for anyone in the 平特五不中 community to apply to if they have an idea for a project that will help sustainability at 平特五不中.
