The Initiative works to make the Berkshires Camp, and other sleep away camps, more environmentally sustainable through educating and leading by example. It raises awareness about environmental issues; increases conscious activism among staff and campers; and decreases the amount of waste (i.e. solids, water, energy, etc.) produced in the camp, thereby reducing its Eco-Footprint. It strives to reach all 600 campers and 200 staff members so that they will leave camp with a new eco-friendly mindset, bringing the message of environmentalism home to their communities. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://consciouslifestyle.org/content/greening-sleep-away-camps-through-infrastructure-and-education">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p> http://consciouslifestyle.org/content/greening-sleep-away-camps-through-infrastructure-and-education#comments Green camp - Columbia University Sustainability camp ramah cleaning products conscious activism conservative Judaism eco-footprint eco-friendly education environment green Recycling social entrepreneurship Venture Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:24:10 -0400 laurenmr 617 at http://consciouslifestyle.org
