Fisher Goes Green

Welcome to Fisher Goes Green, THE place to find out more about the environment, and what St. John Fisher College is doing to keep our campus – and our planet – clean, safe, and healthy. This site is maintained by the Recycling Committee, but we are about more than just recycling.  Our group is committed to doing everything we can to keep Fisher beautiful, and to get the Fisher Community involved as well.  Monroe County law requires that everyone recycle certain materials, but we consider it a privilege to be involved in work that will keep our campus and the surrounding community a healthy place to learn, live, and work for generations to come.

You may contact members of the Recycling Committee via email at: recycling@sjfc.edu with questions or comments. Our Committee has sponsored an Earth Day cleanup and planting projects for many years, and we want to spread our work even farther. 2008 is the first year that we have become involved in the nationwide program called RecycleMania. 

In addition to information about our ongoing Green activities, this site provides informational and educational links to websites to help you learn more about the environment, and what you personally can do to help:

  • Green Fisher Activities – information on our current and upcoming events
  • How Do I Go Green? – check out websites to determine your carbon footprint, cancel unwanted mail-order catalogs, and learn more about what you can do
  • Read Green – check out materials available at Lavery Library to learn more about the environment, recycling, global warming, as well as other interesting information.
  • Recycling Guidelines gives you up-to-date information on the rules and practices of Fisher’s recycling program.
