Hillary Heckler, manager for Central Carolina Community College’s student farm, holds one of the heritage breed Java chicks, an endangered breed, being raised at the farm, part of the college’s sustainable agriculture program. The college has been honored as one of six national winners in the National Wildlife Federation’s 2011 Chill Out: Climate Action on Campus competition. Chill Out recognizes U.S. schools that design and implement innovative approaches to advance sustainability on campuses, reduce their carbon footprints, and educate people about Earth-friendly practices and materials in agriculture, energy production, construction, and other areas. Sustainable agriculture is just one of several green education programs offered at CCCC. The college also has two buildings at its Chatham Campus that meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s high standards in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The accomplishments of CCCC and the other five winners will be shown in an April 13 Chill Out: Climate Action on Campus webcast at the NWF’s web site, www.nwf.org/campusecology/chillout/. The winners will also receive a monetary award from the NWF to continue exploring innovative clean energy and climate action initiatives.
