Living Green in the Grey House
Lyndon is about to offer a green housing alternative.
Starting this fall, students interested in living an earth-friendly lifestyle with others can apply for one of 10 spots in the Grey House on campus.
In the past the Grey House has been used to house students with similar interests such as individuals on the local rescue or fire department. The year's plan involves having students who are interested in bettering not only their own lifestyle but influencing others on campus to do the same.
"Steps such as recycling and composting are how we plan to decrease the overall waste the Grey House will produce. We will also be able to compare the electricity and water usage between this year and a year after the Green Housing lifestyle has been put into action," said Erin Rossetti, director of residential life.
The residence halls have recycling bins at the bottom of the buildings for student use, but having a whole house of individuals involved in the green lifestyle and devoted to making the changes may be the next big step Lyndon State College needs.
Plans are in the works to also include an event at the Grey House celebrating Earth Day. The hope for the Green Housing option is to get students interested in the lifestyle as well as those who are interested in offering change and inspiration to the campus becoming greener as well.
The housing selection process takes place on April 17th. The Grey House has both single and double rooms as well as a kitchen. Those students interested in the Green Housing option should contact Rossetti at Erin.Rossetti@lsc.edu for an application.
