For my semester long story, I want to create a story that explains every way in which Wittenberg is "Going Green." This will include everything from the bike rental system, the types of light bulbs used in the dorms, and why there is not recycling available for students who live in the apartments. I plan on talking to the director of Physical Plant, John Paulsen, on how they have made changes on campus to help in the green movement. I would also like to talk to the president of PoWeR, and the residents of the Lodge, who were selected to live there in a environmentally friendly way to demonstrate to students how they can make changes in their daily lives. I would also like to contact professors in the biology and the chemistry departments because I was told that they have made changes in their labs to become more eco-friendly. The only major concern I foresee is that I might run into too much information and I will have to cut some sources or topics when it comes to compiling the story. I am excited to get started next week with this story and I hope everything goes smoothly!

I think that this topic is going to be a great semester long story for you to follow! So many stories are run in the torch about Witt going green but they always are so superficial. A story that goes into much more depth about Wittenberg's environmental initiative is much needed!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! Recycling is such a big thing and I hope this story might encourage the school to help the green program along =)
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to ask students whether or not they actually care about going green. i.e asking them if they actually recycle, littering and so forth.
