How about they printed fewer course schedules. I see a whole bunch just laying around unused every semester.

They are not green...they are white

Replacing what we taken away, if JTCC were replacing what was taken away, then where are the replacements for the trees that were cut down to build a green building? If you were going to replace the native plant life, then way clearcut the land, then leave haft of it bare? Their small effort can have an enormous impact, this means for companies and people to do what is right for the environment, and not what will help their bottom line.

Yes a green building was built. However, this was only after JTCC cut down the woods that were surrounding the other buildings. The greenness of the building can not replace the environment and will only have a small impact for what JTCC did to build it. JTCC destroyed homes for birds and squirrels, mostly. I have yet to see anything on how JTCC is going to resolve this. If JTCC really wants to go green, then there needs to be recycle bins outside by the trash cans also, not just inside.
