ConcordiaPix 

Reduce, reuse, recycle, repeat

This edition of ConcordiaPix allowed us to get up close and personal in the Greenhouse.

The space has been a student success story for well over a year. It was students, through Sustainable Concordia, who convinced Facilities Management to reopen the space and use it for a host of green ideas once Biology moved west to fancier digs at Loyola.

Funds earmarked for green projects collected from students on a per-credit basis are being used to help staff the space through the 1 % campaign.

And now, seedlings are starting out in biodegradable pots made from old copies of The Link.

It’s that kind of synchronicity that inspired Monica Lafon. If you’re feeling inspired by something on campus, post it at www.flickr.com/groups/concordiapicks/ and this space could be yours March 6.
