</xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Each month
the Sustainability Office will highlight a College department that is
addressing sustainability as a part of their day to day operations. The MSA has
been actively supporting the new policy on single-use plastics, making their
team a perfect fit for Sustainable Department of the Month. We contacted Steve
Kosh, Marketing and Communication Manager of the MSA, and here’s what he had to
say: </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1) Why is the MSA supporting the new policy on
single-use plastics?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The MSA is
supporting the <a href="http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=27801" target="_blank">policy</a>, because we recognize the impact that plastic bags and bottles
have on the environment. The MSA has made a firm commitment to sustainability,
and this is just another prime example of that commitment. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">2) What actions is the MSA taking to support the
new policy?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The MSA
will be launching a full awareness campaign to support the new policy. We will
be wrapping all of the filtered water stations around the campus with
information about the campaign. Also, all of our food services employees have
been educated on the campaign, and can explain to customers why the bottled
water option no longer exists. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">3) What has the student response been to the
BYOB campaign?</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I personally
have been at a booth handing out the free multi-use water bottles to students,
and so far the response has been overwhelmingly positive. The students that we
have interacted with think it is a fantastic idea, and some even stated they
wish we had started the initiative sooner. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">4) How does this initiative fit in with other
sustainable initiatives at the MSA? </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Last year
the MSA board initiated a program to ensure that all of our food services
outlets were using compostable containers, serving utensils, etc. With one less
item going to landfill, it ultimately reduces our carbon footprint and aligns
with our current composting initiatives.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why? </b>This <a href="http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/AssetFactory.aspx?did=27801" target="_blank">policy</a>,
introduced by the Sustainability Office and the MSA, supports the EMP’s
reduction target which calls for a 20% reduction of 2007 baseline carbon
emissions by 2020. Additionally, the policy assists in lowering waste
management costs associated with the disposal of single use plastics. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What’s the
alternative? </b>Please BYOB (bottles and bags). Reusable bottles can be
refilled at water stations across campus, each equipped with a unique feature that
tracks how many plastic bottles have been diverted from landfill. Reusable
bottles are sold at campus stores, andremember to bring your tote-ally reusable
bags, too! </span></div>

Technology, has played a pivotal role in the success of one of the largest
projects in Mohawk’s history, the <a href="http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/fennell-renewal.html">Fennell Renewal Project</a>. As part of his current role as Project
Manager of the Mohawk Recreation Centre, Jeremy ensures that the construction
of the Mohawk Recreation Centre adheres to <a href="http://www.cagbc.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=LEED">LEED standards</a>. A building achieves LEED
certification by accumulating point across five major credit categories:
Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and
Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, plus additional points for Innovation
in Design and Regional Priority.</span></div>

points are met. Dowling says, “Every point is important to achieve LEED Gold
status, including all the waste and recycling. For example, we receive two LEED
points for diverting at least 75% of construction waste from going to

properly, all the time. Our diversion rate is at 96% right now.” Dowling also
takes the time to educate those involved in the project about the LEED system
to ensure that everyone is on track. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"></span></div>

the Mohawk Recreation Centre Construction Offices. Dowling says, “We mainly had
tomatoes, with some lettuce, cucumbers, peppers and peppermint mixed in. We
have two office trailers side by side, with an open area that is covered with a
plexi material, so it made a great greenhouse.”</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">As a
member, Mohawk is able to fully utilize the <a href="https://stars.aashe.org/" target="_blank">Sustainability Tracking, Assessmentand Rating System</a> (STARS), a transparent, self-reporting framework for
colleges and universities to collaborate and measure their sustainability
performance. This system directly
correlates with Pillar 7 (Tracking, Reporting and Communication) of the EMP,
which allows the College to measure and track its progress in reaching a 20%
reduction of 2007 baseline carbon emissions by 2020. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: small;">Mohawk
proudly joins leading North American schools like Harvard University, and
University of Toronto, along with other local peers including Seneca College
and Fanshawe College. Mohawk now has access to a large, diverse network and a
valuable information database that will help us become even more sustainable.
Mohawk and AASHE: a perfect match! </span></span></div>

the New Year, the Sustainability Office is working to inform students and staff
about the ease of carpooling to Mohawk College. The Carpool Parking
Program helps to reduce the number of single occupant vehicles travelling to Mohawk
by connecting students and staff who are interested in carpooling, saving
money, and reducing their personal carbon emissions. This will help the College
achieve its carbon reduction targets and will reduce the demand for parking on
campus.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
average bus trip emits 77g CO2e/km compared to the average vehicle trip which
emits 240g CO2e/km. By taking the bus you reduce your commuting carbon footprint
by 70%! Public transportation is a great way to not only dip less into our
natural resources but also to help save a good deal of money on the
cost of getting around. For students, the cost of an HSR bus pass is built into
their tuition fees. Mohawk employees </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">pay a
discounted rate of $65.25 instead of the regular adult monthly pass price of
$87. </span>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Public
transportation also benefits those not using it because it helps reduce energy
consumption, greenhouse gases and other pollutants, resulting in improved air
quality, alleviate traffic congestion, and noise.</span></div>

temporary access to bicycles, thereby reducing their reliance on
single-occupancy vehicles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

says, “I also feel the </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">need to help out a student/co-worker experiencing

October 29, 2012</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> — More than 60 people weathered
hurricane Sandy to celebrate the 1<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>st</sup> anniversary of Hamilton’s
Climate Change Charter. The Hamilton Community Action Charter is a voluntary
agreement that action on climate change is needed. Those who signed the charter
are committed to tackling the causes and consequences of climate change.
Representatives from various organizations spoke proudly of their promised and
measurable actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote
economic prosperity, health and environmental benefits to all. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

Environmental Specialist represented Mohawk College, speaking to the colleges’
commitment to a 20% reduction of 2007 baseline carbon emissions by 2020. This
ambitious goal is in line with the City of Hamilton’s commitment to reducing
greenhouse gas emission of 2005 levels by 10% by 2012, and 20% by 2020. Just
how does Mohawk College plan to reduce carbon emissions by 20%?! Through </span></span><span style="color: white;">Mohawk College’s Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
of course! The EMP has been developed to act as the leading policy document and
blueprint that will shape the College's transformation towards a greener,
prosperous future as an environmental, social and financially conscious
institution. The EMP can be downloaded from our website: <a href="http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/environmental-sustainability">http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/environmental-sustainability</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: white;">Ensuring that Mohawk staff, students and faculty have access to safe,
sustainable, healthy and convenient transportation options is very important to
the college. As such, the Mohawk College Sustainability Office and Smart
Commute Hamilton have introduced discounted Hamilton Street Railway (HSR)
transit passes for all Mohawk College employees. As for Mohawk College
students, their bus pass is included in their student fees (lucky!).<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: white;"><span lang="EN-US">From September 2012 to April 2013, Mohawk College employees receive an
exclusive 25% discount on monthly HSR transit passes. By simply completing the
<a href="http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/Assets/Environmental-Sustainability/Staff+HSR+Pass+Membership+form.pdf">membership agreement</a> </span><span lang="EN-US">and bringing it to the Fennell Campus Bookstore, employees pay $65.25
instead of the regular adult monthly pass price of $87. If you currently
commute by car, your savings will be even greater! You’ll save on the cost of
fuel, vehicle maintenance, and parking ($525+ annually). <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: white;">You’ll be helping to reduce your
personal carbon footprint by lowering the amount of harmful emission that
result from commuting in a single-occupant vehicle. </span><span style="color: white;">The average
vehicle emits 240g CO2e/km, whereas the average bus trip will emit 77g CO2e/km,
which equals close to a 70% reduction in your commuting footprint.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This past month, in partnership with MIDA RPM and Ontario
Electronic Stewardship (OES), the Mohawk College Sustainability Office
successfully hosted an Electronic Waste Recycling Drive. Unwanted devices — printers,
monitors, MacBooks, televisions, cellphones and used batteries — were collected,
and will be properly disposed of in a way that is safe for the environment. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Generally speaking, e-waste consists of more than 92% recoverable and reusable commodities, so it is important to keep old electronics out of landfills and in recycling plants. Thanks to all those who participated! All of your old electronics are being sent out for the recycling process this week.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The concept of sustainability has been making news headlines
for well over a decade. These days, politicians, businesses, and media are all
flaunting something they are doing as “sustainable.” Alike, the term “green” is
plastered on consumer products by companies wanting to appeal to the “tree
huggers,” the environmentally conscious folk. The lack of a commonly agreed
upon definition of sustainability, which applies to a multitude of interrelated
issues — environment, economic and social — has been the cause of
misunderstanding, contradictions and debate. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">At Mohawk College, sustainability is no longer a Buzzword
but a Way of Life. Mohawk College is committed to working alongside our
community, businesses, other Colleges and Universities, and individuals to
promote social, financial and environmental sustainability. Mohawk College
recognizes the importance of creating policies that reduce impacts on the
planet and ensure a prosperous future for generations to come. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

recently, with the development of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP),
Mohawk College is expanding these programs and services.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
