A brief description of the central sustainability website that consolidates information about the institution's sustainability efforts:
The North Seattle Sustainability Website consists of five pages that tells about sustainability here at North. The first page keeps up current events or news about Sustainability that involves the college. The Projects page gives a brief description of the various projects the college is working on. Some projects on this page have links to proposals and contacts for each project, our goal is to have a link to the proposal and contact person for every project listed. The NSCC Sustainability Program page tells about our enrollment in the STARS program, how it helps the college because we can benchmark how well we're doing in comparison to other colleges. This page also describes how the Sustainability Office at North came to be. The Committee page lists all the members and links to contact them. It also has minutes for every meeting from December 2009 and on. The last page gives the contact information for the office personnel.
