Maritime universities promote sustainability | CTV News [Video]

It’s Sustainability Month at campuses across the Maritimes.

Students are being encouraged to make greener choices with a goal of creating lifelong habits. The changes to better the planet can be simple.

“As individuals, we all play a role in choosing to make our lives sustainable every day, as well as at an operational level,” said Alexa Goodman, a sustainability manager with Dalhousie University in Halifax.

“There’s many things that we can all do in playing a part to improve sustainability here at Dal and beyond.”

Over the course of the month at Dalhousie University, each week will focus on transportation, food, energy, and waste.

“Waste sorting is one of those topics that we are continually educating folks on because it’s complicated, and whether you’re new to Halifax or from a different municipality or from a different country, waste standards are different everywhere,” said Goodman.
