Changing College for the Better

At Goldsmiths, University of London, they are making some really impressive changes.
-Beef will not be for sale on campus
-divesting from fossil fuels (by Dec)
-phasing out single-use plastics
-switching to a renewable energy provider
-ending chemical use in gardening
-rewilding unused land
-mandatory first-year modules on climate and ecology
-...and going carbon neutral by 2025

This is based on a couple of tweets by Jason Hickel.

I'm impressed! While I'm guessing that there isn't a lot of land in London to re-wild, these are all great steps. Perhaps Towson might consider something?
