Rider University Celebrates Sustainability
Students from Dr. Laura Hyatt's course on The Biology of Climate Change at Rider lead staff and fellow students through "The Game of Life: The Carbon Edition", created by the class to educate people about the every day impact (e.g. driving to class, wasting food, and leaving dorm room lights turned on) of the school's and community's overall carbon footprint. The "R"-shaped game board taped to the floor might stand for "Rider", or it could call to mind our favorite four-word sustainability mantra: "Re-think, Reduce, Re-use, Recycle".
