From Words to Actions:
Sustainable Learning at Outdoor Lab
Written By: Chris Woods, Current Intern
At Mt. Evans Outdoor Lab, stewardship and sustainability aren't just words. The school wants to go beyond teaching the concepts and move to embodying them.  A few months ago, the staff of Mt. Evans sat down to set goals, most notably carbon reduction targets. "We wanted to keep in stride with the emissions targets set by the White House earlier this year, so we agreed to hold ourselves to a 2% annual reduction of carbon dioxide equivalents," says current intern Logan Coy.  They are well on their way.
