The campus of Penn State is very green! There are large, well-maintained lawns where students sunbathe or play Frisbee in the afternoon. Parks with old trees, tucked away gardens with benches, and lot of blooming plants make the campus a truly beautiful place. Cute little bunnies, squirrels, and chipmunks are all over the place, and we even saw beavers and a skunk the other night.
Penn State is also a Green campus. People are very environmentally conscious - there are recycling bins everywhere; the buses run on 100% natural gas; the used oil from the dining halls is used to make bio- diesel. The campus has its own composting facility that takes the organic waste from the dining halls and turns it into mulch that is used on campus. The kitchen of the Bryce Jordan center that can host 16,000 people generates a handful of waste – everything else is recycled. It’s great to see that Penn State is Green, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
