General Information
- Green Building Initiative. Mason Green Building Initiative As a spin off from the first Mason Earth Day celebration, faculty, students and staff formed a Green Initiative Group to begin realizing many of the ideas shared during the two-week Earth Day celebration. The group decided to form sub-groups based on the specific projects members wanted to pursue. The subgroups to date include green building, greening of the curriculum, students activism, and the greening of campus services and stores. The group meets monthly to report activity of sub-groups and to participate in the logistics for Earth Day, as the time is appropriate. For more info, Susan Crate.
