ACHS Green Campus
As part of our ongoing mission to make the world a better place, the American College of Healthcare Sciences continually strives to reduce its environmental footprint. Here are our Top Green Milestones to date:
- Becoming Oregon Tilth Certified Organic in the Apothecary Shoppe College Store
- Renewing our pledge to the PGE Save More, Matter More campaign
- Continued Approved Member of Green America's Green Business Network, America’s oldest network of socially and environmentally responsible businesses.
- Joining the Portland Composts! program through the Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, which allows us to compost food items and plant material from our botanical teaching garden
- In 2010 we launched our Green Option to help eliminate waste - ACHS students can opt out of printed course materials and choose the Green Option for fully searchable materials online
- Installing a rain barrel system in the botanical teaching garden to collect and harvest rain water
- Utilizing an all-natural earth plaster (non-toxic clay) in our administrative offices - natural clay can even absorb toxins from other substances! > Learn more http://www.dioxua.com/services
