Renewal Blog >> Renewal recently visited eight schools on the west coast.
Here is a look at the trip through a camera lens. Azusa Pacific University, California: Bikes are in abundance. This semester, students are starting a new bike repair shop on campus. Westmont College, California: The garden is looking tasty. Much of this food is being used in the university dining commons. The dining services even hired a Westmont alum (and Renewal SLT slum) to be a part-time gardener. Keep up the great work Anthony. Biola University, California: Another great looking garden. This space has seen significant improvements in the last year due to many volunteer hours by faculty, staff and students. Trinity Western University, British Columbia: Students are removing invasive plant species from the riparian zone at the A Rocha Brooksdale Environmental Centre. The Little Campbell River is home to many aquatic species, including delicate salmon runs. Removing the invasive species and planting native trees and shrubs ensures the waters are protected. Northwest University, Washington: This building used to be a part of the Seattle Seahawks (football) training facility. When the building came under university ownership, they retrofitted it - making offices, classrooms and a fitness center. Seattle Pacific University, Washington: Students are getting their hands dirty. Much of the produce grown is given to the local food pantry. George Fox University, Oregon: This group of students meet once a week, hoping to seek truth together. They invited Renewal to the meeting. We talked about what it means to care for creation and the importance of living sustainable lives. We tried practicing sustainability by planting basil and tomato plants. Warner Pacific College, Oregon: The sticker on this van says it all. |
