| Thomas has a long history of environmental stewardship but like many, can do much more. Each year, the College is increasingly active in various areas of sustainability; increased insulation, more efficient heating and cooling systems, new lower-watt lighting, recycling, Earth Day, the President's ad-hoc committee for energy conservation, and the student Environment Club are a few examples.
This page is designed to link to the various items we are doing as well as relevant information provided by others. |
