RIPON COLLEGE - Task force assembled to assess Ripon's sustainability, make goals for future

A recent proposal sent to President David Joyce has been causing some on campus to see green.The American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment has been sent to Ripon College in hopes that it will make the necessary steps in the coming years to become more sustainable and carbon neutral."We had a reputation in the marketplace, due to the bike initiative, frankly that we're one of the green colleges," says Joyce. "That's nice, but if we're going to sign the statement on sustainability I want to be serious and make sure we can do it."To ensure that the school can make the necessary changes to become more sustainable, Joyce initiated the creation of a task force to take the necessary steps to see if the campus could, in fact, sign on the pledge and meet future goals.
