Pesticide-Free Grounds
成人影片 uses only 100% natural, organic techniques to maintain the flora on our beautiful campus.
Our grounds staff who maintain聽our arboretum聽are employing the following techniques:
- elimination of all petroleum-based chemical fertilizers;
- utilization of organic fertilizers that are fish and seaweed-based natural nutrients;
- elimination of all chemical herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides;
- utilization of natural pest management methods, such as the use of organic oils and soaps; and
- enrichment of microbes in the soil, an organic process which rehabilitates the soil biology and results in a natural soil aeration process. Once the soil is rehabilitated, we will be able to decrease watering from every day to twice a week.
In addition, the conversion of Motamed Field to an artificial turf surface no longer requires our dependence on 鈥渜uick fix鈥� chemical solutions to maintain the field of play.
Green Seal Products
Located in Washington, D.C.,聽聽is a nonprofit organization dedicated to achieving a聽healthier environment. Green Seal works in conjunction with the聽聽(EPA) and promotes products that meet environmentally responsible criteria.
At 成人影片, we have made an effort to protect the environment on a daily basis and incorporate the protection of the environment into our lives by using only Green Seal Certified庐 products. These products are recycled from waste paper, newspapers, and magazines, have had the contaminants removed, and are safe for you and the environment.
The Facilities Department is also working in close conjunction with the Purchasing Department to ensure that the University uses 鈥済reen鈥� products wherever possible. Housekeeping switched to all environmentally friendly cleaning and paper products in 2005.
