Promoting sustainability education at GreenFest Philly

This past Sunday, September 14th, our degree program in Environmental Sustainability helped staff a booth at GreenFest Philly to promote the sustainability education options available at Philadelphia University. In addition to our innovative program, we also had representatives from our Masters program in Sustainable Design, our Bachelors degree in Environmental and Conservation Biology, and our Landscape Architecture program.

Students like Meghan and Stefanie (in the picture) helped staff the booth and answered questions from the attendees at the GreenFest. We also toured the festival, to learn more about sustainability solutions and to keep an eye out for "greenwashing." Is a doggie raincoat really sustainable if it is made out of recycled materials, or is an example of one of the Seven Sins of Greenwashing: "The Lesser of Two Evils?"
