校园堆肥
2020年8月, 可持续发展项目办公室, 学生联盟, and 住房 and Auxiliary Services collaborated to initiate Creighton’s first composting program in partnership with 山坡上的解决方案. This program involves collecting post-consumer food waste on campus, 从垃圾填埋场转移, and reducing Creighton's greenhouse gas emissions. Compost bins at Brandeis 餐厅 Hall and along the 加州街步行街 are stationed to collect compostable items, including food scraps, fruit peels, coffee grounds, and paper products.
山坡上的解决方案 collects nearly 500 pounds of compost from campus weekly, transporting it to their dedicated industrial composting farms. 结果是, Creighton receives over a ton of nutrient-rich soil sourced from campus compost, distributed monthly to support community gardens in the Omaha metro area."
