How You Can Help

Volunteer

Volunteering for events such as Earth Day or watershed cleanup events is a great way to do your part in helping out environment. If you would like to volunteer for an existing event, or develop a new one, contact Paul Ruskin at (814) 863-9620.

Pick up Trash

Sometimes someone will inadvertently drop a piece of trash on the ground. If you see trash that you can safely pick up, collect it up and put it in the nearest garbage or recycling bin. It’s that simple.

Never dump down drains

Our storm inlets lead to our creeks or stream carrying any pollutants and are not garbage receptacles. These untreated pollutants can kill fish and other aquatic life. If you see illicit dumping on University Property, report it to Larry Fennessey at (814) 863-8743.

Educate others

If you hear interesting facts that help our environment, spread the word around. Knowledge should be contagious.

Conserve Water

Enough said!

Car Care

Make sure your vehicle isn’t leaking fluids; dispose fluids at a designated recycling point.

Lawn Care

Use fertilizers and pesticides sparingly as required, and don’t forget to pick up pet waste.
