Student-led 倡议

Scripps 学生的花园

Located behind Browning, the Scripps 学生的花园 features seasonal fruit trees, planting beds, 学生 murals, and study areas. Two 学生 garden coordinators maintain the space and host workshops, 实地考察旅行, 收获的食物, and oversee the dorm composting program. They also organize a weekly volunteer program with Huerta del Valle at their 4-acre Ontario farm, where 学生s learn about organic agriculture and food sovereignty.

宿舍堆肥

In 2016, 学生s initiated a pilot project for composting in all residence halls. It continues to be 学生-run and overseen by the Garden Coordinators.

每年, the olive trees surrounding the Humanities Building are harvested by the community and milled into Scripps’ award winning extra-virgin olive oil. The Olive Oil Project is the culmination of faculty, 学生, and 工作人员 efforts to turn Scripps’ edible landscape into a virtual classroom for hands-on learning and embrace an ethic of sustainability. This project is organized by Joya Salas and is made possible by support from the Grounds Department.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation

Building meters are fitted with MelRok IoT devices, allowing us to monitor real-time building energy consumption.

Solar PV arrays are located on Garrison Fine Arts Building, Lang Art Building, and Schow Hall. Energy-efficient LED bulbs are in use throughout campus. The pool at the Sally Tiernan Field House uses a variable speed drive pump so that energy supply never exceeds demand.
