A Visit to Michigan State University


Terry Link is the Sustainability Director at MSU. Here he shares with me what many other universities in Michigan are a part of, Michigan Higher Education Partnership for Sustainability (MiHEPS), but unfortunately EMU is not a member. Shouldn't we be? You betcha.

Among the many sustainable project are MSU are
  • recycling
  • green roofs (they have one)
  • taking a bio-based waste from a local bio-plastics firm to burn in their power plant
  • they have a sustainability report for the campus
  • Student project involving sustainable ideas
