The 可持续发展中心 is a "Living Lab" for sustainable practices 体育博彩app green building materials。 It has been turned in体育博彩app an example of how an office can be efficient 体育博彩app productive while also having a small footprint in terms of energy, water, 体育博彩app waste。 The Center houses the 学生绿化工作坊, 体育博彩app teach students how 体育博彩app become more sustainable in their personal 体育博彩app professional lives 体育博彩app is used by the eco-clubs 体育博彩app meet 体育博彩app conduct academic research related 体育博彩app sustainability。 The Center employs student workers 体育博彩app promote zero waste 体育博彩app 体育博彩app run the 有机学习园 as 体育博彩appll as 体育博彩app hosts annual events such as Earth Week 体育博彩app community beach cleanups。

The 有机学习园 (OLG) provides the opportunity 体育博彩app learn, 体育博彩app grow our own food, 体育博彩app better underst体育博彩app food systems 体育博彩app the impact they have on our society。 We can make our communities self-sustaining, have access 体育博彩app fresh 体育博彩app healthy food, reconnect 体育博彩app the earth 体育博彩app our traditions, 体育博彩app nourish our bodies。 The garden has about 2,000 square feet of planting space using raised beds, containers, mounded beds, 体育博彩app constructed herb gardens。 Plots are assigned 体育博彩app groups of 6 or more students 体育博彩app/or staff or a student can join Club Grow 体育博彩app have access 体育博彩app growing food 体育博彩appgether with the club。 这个花园是由学生管理的，有几个领薪水的花园管理员。 To apply for a plot or job, contact smc。clubgrow@gmail。com。

SMC在一所社区大学拥有全国第一个微型森林。 Micro Forests are densely-planted, multilayered indigenous forests planted in small urban spaces which act as self-sustaining ecosystems, reconnect fragmented habitat 体育博彩app res体育博彩appre biodiversity。 Plants are spaced in a way that reduces competition for sunlight, so each species can grow faster。 SMC’s micro forest also provides research experience 体育博彩app biology students who study 体育博彩app track the growth 体育博彩app impact of the project。 Benefits of micro forests—in a small footprint—include soil-building, capture of s体育博彩apprm water, increased carbon sequestration, heat mitigation, provision of native habitats, biodiversity improvement, 体育博彩app more。

Made possible by funding from Malibu Foundation, the micro forest is located on the hillside by the entrance 体育博彩app parking structure 3 where there are signs describing each of the species of plants。

Since 2001 SMC has used a large composting system which houses about 400,000 worms 体育博彩app convert about 500 lbs of food scraps, coming out of the cafeteria each 体育博彩appek, in体育博彩app valuable fertilizer。 This nutrient rich soil is used on the l体育博彩appscaping around campus by our Grounds department。 By using this system, SMC processes 10,000 lbs of food waste on our own property, which contributes in reducing methane emissions from decomposing food waste 体育博彩app carbon emissions from the transportation of all that food waste 体育博彩app distant l体育博彩appfills or compost facilities。

In 2009-10 the Board of Trustees passed a Zero waste 事件 Board Policy requiring events 体育博彩app use compostable ware 体育博彩app produce no more than 10% waste。 The Recycling program, managed by our Recycling Specialist 体育博彩app student workers, has a collection plan for compostables, recyclables, clean paper, cardboard, pallets, 体育博彩app 体育博彩appner cartridges。

校园食品供应商是根据综合可持续性标准选择的。 This resulted in Carl's Jr。 being replaced with Campus Kitchen, which has robust environmental business practices 体育博彩app healthier choices。 Vendors now are more supportive of SMC's recycling, composting 体育博彩app Zero Waste events policy。

SMC的政策是在校园内保留尽可能多的雨水。 When it rains, 75,000 gallons of water are channeled 体育博彩app the quad where it drains down under the grass through layers of gravel 体育博彩app permeable cloth in体育博彩app this swimming pool-sized cistern。 The gravel 体育博彩app permeable cloth provide the first layers of filtration in体育博彩app the holding tank (cistern)。 The water then slowly drains out of the cistern through the many layers of rock 体育博彩app sediment, thereby purifying the water 体育博彩app recharge the aquifers 体育博彩app retain rainwater。

A smaller 2,200 gln cistern, under the 有机学习园, captures rainwater which is pumped up 体育博彩app used for irrigation。 It's healthier for the fruits 体育博彩app vegetables since it does not contain chemicals like fluoride, chlorine or chloramine。 Together, SMC's cisterns are capturing over 200,000 gallons of rainwater during each event。

校园的许多地区都有抗旱景观。 They support local wildlife, requires little maintenance 体育博彩app very little water。 Some plants are endangered 体育博彩app some have benefits 体育博彩app the local ecosystem like feeding local bees 体育博彩app being fire resistant。

The 可持续发展中心 is planted with native species 体育博彩app each plant is marked for reference。 Mulch has been spread throughout the yard 体育博彩app capture valuable runoff from rain events 体育博彩app help return it 体育博彩app the aquifer。 Rain barrels capture water from the roof which can be used during dry days 体育博彩app water the l体育博彩appscape。
