Are you helping to make Lehigh a more vibrant, innovative, and sustainable place? We would LOVE to hear what you are doing!
Every one of us, whether a student, faculty, or staff member has the opportunity to positively impact our environment and support sustainable change on campus. But as members of the Lehigh campus community, we may not know about your accomplishments/pursuits unless you share them with us. Help us engage and inform the Lehigh community by sharing your sustainability initiatives, actions, and practices on campus!
Take a look at the examples below for some ideas about what sustainability stories might be. Some of these stories will be posted on the web and in other publications, and will also be used for internal tracking of sustainability progress at Lehigh.
Please tell us YOUR story by emailing sustainability@lehigh.edu!
