Tammy Clemons talks about sustainability at Berea College, Kentucky
I have always been intrigued and attracted to Berea College in Kentucky. Even before I knew they were deeply involved in sustainable issues I liked that Berea was involved in the region, the crafts, and in giving opportunities to many Appalachian students who may not otherwise receive the advantages of a college education. And THEN I learned about their sustainable program.
So in July of this year I had a return visit to the college and spoke with their Sustainability Coordinator, Tammy Clemons, who has worked in this position for the past two years and has just signed up for two more. As you will see she is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her job. This segment of the interview concerns a history of sustainability and a brief look at Lincoln Hall a LEED certified building on campus (first in Kentucky!).
At another time I hope to post our discussion of Berea's Ecovillage along with several others in the Midwest. Sustainability lives! and now to bring it to EMU and educate our students to the future. The choice is clear:

I was accepted to Berea in the late 80's but chose to go the Air Force route instead. Now, with a daughter soon to be in college we are looking at Berea again. Thanks for the info you have on it.
God bless,
