A Creative Idea to Help the Environment.
Hmm.... Something effective, but plausible.... Hmmm.....
Ending the excessive watering of the SEU campus. It has been brought to my attention that this doesn't help the entire environment, but as we often discuss in class, every step counts because it adds up over time.
So, here's the thing, the campus watering system is complex and over a huge area, however, it rains, and then we decided to allow the program to run and don't do anything about the fact that we are wasting fresh water. In a state where we will reach a problem with this faster than many other states.
What can we do about this? We need to change our computerized program, or replace ours with one that will, allow an override whenever it has recently rained and the ground will subsequently be overwatered. Again this seems small, but thousands upon thousands of gallons of water would be saved annually, not to mention the reduced water bill for the school which would very much pay off in the long run if we did need to replace our system.
Obviously, certain facilites workers woud need to be given access to the override and make sure that whoever works the weekends was one of these people, but this could be a very effective and simple change if it was made a priority.
