裸聊直播, East Bay has been awarded a $26,000 2014-15 Campus as a Living Lab (CALL) Grant by the Office of the Chancellor. The grant will be used to redesign a CSUEB course to promote sustainability on the Hayward campus and restore undeveloped land.

The goal of the CALL program is “to promote continuing economic and ecological viability of the state. Students in every discipline can benefit from courses that introduce theories and concepts in sustainability and environmental responsibility, including but not limited to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines.”

The proposed project at CSUEB is the creation of an interdisciplinary course — ENSC 3999 Issues in Environmental Science — that allows undergraduates from several majors, including environmental science, environmental studies, biology, recreation and others, to assess the feasibility of ecological restoration on the Hayward campus using green/food waste-derived compost. The class would also assess potential end uses of restored land, including curriculum and passive recreation. One possible outcome of the project is the creation of an outdoor, on-campus resource for interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary field learning that would benefit multiple colleges at CSUEB.

Additionally, restoration of the historical, drought-tolerant native oak woodlands would have multiple benefits for Facilities Operations and the local environment: decreasing waste management costs by using organic wastes on campus, decreasing waste transportation, sequestering carbon dioxide (important in decreasing CSUEB’s carbon footprint), improving water percolation through soil (decreasing flood risk), decreasing erosion, and improving air quality.

Before the project begins, a group of 40-50 enrolled students will conduct an initial feasibility study under the supervision of faculty. This high-impact, real-world experience will allow students to deeply investigate specific aspects of the full circle of waste generation and beneficial reuse. The team’s efforts will be combined into a final feasibility study, including specific recommendations.

“The Campus as a Living Lab grant will be very beneficial for CSUEB students and the Hayward Hills campus,” said Jillian Buckholz, director of sustainability. “Not only will students have an experiential opportunity to learn about the organic waste streams our campus generates, but they'll also be able to design an on-campus composting program that could significantly reduce the waste stream going directly to the landfill.”
