Sell reusable bottles of water in vending machines instead of bottles of water
Shuttle service between the three campuses of the district-3 votes
Turn off fountains on weekends to save water and electricity
Minimize lighting
A garden with more biodiversity
CSM should get solar panels
We should find a way to conserve water by watering the grass less often
More charging stations for electric cars; if we have more charging stations more students might
by electric cars
Please stop removing trees; please plant more trees
In the classroom turn off the AC or heat when temperature is suitable-Good!-manually?
Plantings on campus are not sustainable. Succulents needed to be ripped out (not good for the
site) and replaced with grass (very thirsty).
Locally sourced and/or organic food in the cafeteria.
Please plant gardens with drought tolerant plants (nice plants, not just ice plants) and get rid of
the giant lawns
Look at Genentech. It is the real deal and one of the few companies that really work at this
without green washing. Can we get a speaker to come and talk here? Or, model their practices?
A shuttle bus that goes from Hillsdale Mall to campus would really be nice!
Use LED lighting to save energy
Improve recycling. Even though we have the bins the students do not use them properly, better
labeling and education on recycling on campus
Composting on campus
Our garden should be fixed
More space in kitchen for highschoolers?
Faculty drivers publish their routes and pick up passengers (like the informal carpoolers in San
Francisco)
Organized car pools for students
Some transportation that is more convenient to get from the bottom of the hill to the top
Parking issues with the school population increasing and the small amount of parking spaces,
students are struggling to efficiently find parking and get to class on time
Gid rid of grass and put in natural plants
Health Club should sponsor re-fillable bottles for new hydrating stations hold a give-away on day
hydrating stations are installed
I suggest we grow our own food
No smoking on edge of Perimeter Road where it could cause a fire
Contact Mike Hart at Sierra Energy in Davis. He has the ability to generate syngas from waste
Ask (demand) vendors for less packaging. Christie Budiniski at Genentech is an excellent contact
to discuss real alternatives to lower carbon footprint
Reduce water consumption, such as signs in gym showers
32. Let grass go dry (some of the time) replace with drought resistant plants or artificial turf
