Its not easy being green
• Changes in consumerism• Planned obsolescence• Changes in corporate
models• Pace of technology• Paradigm shift
Recycling on Campus
• Act 415 ILSC 20/3.1 (Institutions of Higher Learning)
• By 2000 40% reduction in waste generated (1987)• Land Fill pickups dropped by 50 percent• Recycle old ceiling tiles/buy recycled products• Construction debris (by contact)• Areas to improve?
• MONITORS $10 and up "events have lower prices" • DEAD OR BAD MONITORS or working monitors alone $10
each • COMPUTERS AND PARTS "NO FEE" • Playstations, X-Boxes, WII, X-box 360, PS-2, PS-3, And even
older gaming systems are accepted. "NO FEE" • Laptops / Notebooks / touchpads "NO FEE" • CELL PHONES AND CELL PHONE CHARGERS "NO FEE" • COMPUTER PARTS MISC "NO FEE" • PRINTERS "NO FEE" • SCANNERS "NO FEE" • COMPUTER & NETWORK WIRES $FREE • SATELLITE RECIEVERS & DISHES PARTIAL OR WHOLE "NO

1: Lead in cathode ray tube and solder2: Arsenic in older cathode ray tubes3: Selenium in circuit boards as power supply rectifier4: Polybrominated flame retardants in plastic casings, cables and circuit boards5: Antimony trioxide as flame retardant6: Cadmium in circuit boards and semiconductors7: Chromium in steel as corrosion protection8: Cobalt in steel for structure and magnetivity9: Mercury in switches and housing
Campus Grounds• Use of rain barrels for plantings
– Reduced/eliminated potable water use
• Use of native plants for tough areas.
• Use of caster oil for moles• Testing corn meal gluten for seed
germination inhibitor • Compost all yard and animal stall
waste– For use on campus and free to
public• GAST grant
Campus Grounds“Life on the Edge”
• Restoration of biological diversity of campus
• Initially planted 1500 small trees and shrubs
• Reduced mowed/ “biological desert” areas on campus
• Increases small mammal/bird population
• Typical forest six dominant tree species, 10 to 20 understory species, 100 + herbaceous plants.
Oak Savanna/ Tall Grass Prairie Restorations
• Increase diversity of native species• 400 + species• Increase water use efficiency• Lower intensive maintenance
Tall Grass Prairie
Oak Savanna
Campus Buildings• Recycled carpet • Lighting upgrade
-T12 to T8 bulbs 30% reduction-Motion detection in rooms
• UV limiting shades• Use of low VOC Paints• Green cleaning supplies• Boiler upgrade (50 to 85% increase)• Water saving ½ gallon urinals 1 gallon
flush toilets• Mid-American energy audit
Curricula: Sustainability “GREEN” Supply Chain Courses
• Leading-edge education about sustainability and “green” topics• Sustainability to practice green living, remain current in the workplace,
or meet the needs of your business customers. • Companies need information about being sustainable to practice social
responsibility, remain competitive, or meet the needs of global markets.
• Online Classes (10 Hours)Green Purchasing Fundamentals Sustainability 101 & Corporate Social Responsibility Essentials Carbon Strategies Life Cycle Assessment for Designers
Curricula: Green TrainingTrade and Industrial Programs
• Certified Indoor Air Quality Manager• Certified Indoor Environmentalist • Certified Microbial Investigator • Fundamentals of Solar Hot Water Heating• Home Energy Analyst • Intro to Building Energy Efficiency• Photovoltaic System Design & Installation• Weatherization Energy Auditor• Certified Compliance Inspector of Storm
water • Certified Preparer of SWPPP• Storm water Subcontractor Short Course • Green Driving Techniques
Curricula: Sustainable Energy certificate • 1.) Sustainable Energy Systems I• 2.) Sustainable Energy Systems II
– 1. To develop a broad perspective and nuanced understanding of energy sources and flows.
– 2. To become well-versed in the current state of the art in energy conversion and storage, as well as near- and far-term technologies that may impact the field.
– 3. To gain the skills necessary to create projects utilizing novel ambient energy supplies, and to measure and monitor the energy usage in those projects.
– 4. To develop a larger-scale group project utilizing a currently available renewable energy supply.
Middle/High School • NSF grant “Innovations in Engineering
Technology Education” – Use of advanced learning tools in the
college classroom and spark interest in engineering technology with middle & high school students
• Introduce alternative energy in the K-12 system that will encourage / enable students to continue their education at BHC
• Creation of a sustainable energy 3-D Simulator / Calculator – wind, solar, biomass, and geothermal– 3-D rapid graphics– Development of a feature-rich
interactive website entitled, “ Are you Ready?”
• Engineering Technology Camp for teenagers June , 2009
“The Answer, My Friend is Blowing in the wind”
• Government mandates• Deregulated markets• Grant availability
• Deregulation of electrical system in Illinois January 1, 2007
• Projected 20-35% increase in electrical costs
