SOLUTIONS FOR A
HEALTHIER PLANET
At EARTH, we continually challenge our students to evaluate the environmental impact of their actions,
and in our operations strive to be a model of environmental stewardship. This has far reaching effects,
as we foster a strong commitment to environmental sustainability not just among our students, but also
among the more than 7,500 visitors who come to our two campuses each year.
More than
1,100 visitors
were trained in
adequate waste
management
techniques at
EARTH and
hundreds more in
renewable energies
and sustainable
agriculture during
2013.
We recycled 80%
of our solid waste
generated on
campus in 2013.
In 2013, nearly
20 biodigesters
were installed in
the neighboring
communities
surrounding
EARTH, ensuring
that agricultural
waste is being
properly treated
and creating a
renewable energy
source for rural
families.
