Students Return from Sustainability Retreat: The Real Work Begins
|
|
ECM recently hosted its fifth sustainability retreat, a program that invites students to spend the weekend on a Kansan homestead learning about sustainable practices. The retreat provides hands-on learning and an opportunity to build community, but the retreat also presents students with a challenge: Take what you've learned here and turn it into a project. Students that attend are encouraged to spend the weekend brainstorming a sustainability project that they can bring back to the Manhattan community and are then given a microgrant to help them make the project a reality. Students have continually met this challenge with ingenuity, creativity, and passion. In the past, projects have ranged from mushroom farms to building recreation equipment out of sustainable materials. The most recent participants are at the start of this journey. During the retreat they spent time brainstorming and bouncing ideas off one-another, but now that the retreat is over the real work begins. We can't wait to see what they come up with.
