Blog 5

Hello fellow bloggers so, I’ve been attending RCC campus for about a year now. The campus lay out is distributed for civilian use and the nature surrounding its area. The school has many trees and bushes distributed along the planetarium and the cafeteria; many birds who live in the area take advantage of this area due to the food and trees surrounding its map. Another factor having all these trees and bushes is that many other species share it for example squirrels, skunks, possums. In addition to our campus I feel like it’s a green environment but also has its cons. An example of a harmful chemical that affects our environment on our campus would be all the students who drive cars and pollution polluting our air we breathe on our campus. Our class room seems to use a lot of energy due to powering all the electronics which affects our environment on our campus, I wouldn’t know the usage of energy but we have a large facility being used six days a week. NYU has a program that they have purchased which is wind energy. By using wind energy we can reduce the use of man-made energy to renewable wind energy that can power the school and save the environment some harm. In addition to NYUs plan of wind energy would be a great environmental improvement to the community surrounding our school campus. By doing so we would have to start a program that can helps students with renewable energy and get funds to start a program at RCC to produce wind energy to power the school. This will also benefit our city and students who gets hands on experimentation on how to save energy and improve our energy use.

  1. That's a nice picture of RCC, it makes the campus look so nice! Overall I think RCC has been and will continue to make more environmentally conscious improvements to the campus. It's cool that NYU is looking to use wind energy in order to conserve and I feel RCC would benefit greatly if they too could adapt such a resource. I think the main concern would be cost because NYU has a greater budget I'm sure and if they are looking for outside funding too it must be a pretty expensive measure. Sadly , things like that usually are very expensive to implement.

  2. It would make so much sense to have wind energy farm producing electricity for the campus or the RIVERSIDE community college district in general. It would double as an educational/ technical program for its students and provide the campus a renewable energy resource. Riverside, being a pretty windy area, would benefit from wind power. NYU is onto something. Great job informing us the possibilities for a greener campus.

  3. Wonderful photography .
    I agree with the cons of nature that you provided.
    We do need to fix our energy issues,
    Great work
