Taking Responsibility
Addressing one of the world’s most pressing problems, climate change, requires developing scientific research and taking personal responsibility for our actions. These requirements live at the heart of sustainability at Warren Wilson where we are researching bird migration patterns affected by foliage growth timing in environmental sciences, where we have committed to reaching 40% local food in our cafeteria by 2020, reducing food transportation pollution, and where each individual is contributing to our zero waste challenge by dumping all food waste into our composting system on campus.
