Sustainability

EC staff are standing members of FLC’s Campus Sustainability Committee (CSC). We actively shape sustainability initiatives on campus that support FLC’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility. From campus composting to energy efficiencies, transportation to food systems, our entire FLC community is working toward a more sustainable future.

For more information about FLC’s past, present, and future efforts and ways that you can personally take the initiative to advance sustainability, go to Campus Sustainability.
