What are the interesting questions that have come up in your classroom around the topic of sustainability?
While all Algonquin College employees may not be in a position to provide an answer to all questions, Conversation Starters are here to help employees start a dialogue.
This question, “Are the plants in the ACCE green wall real?” was posed to a professor from a student.
Stay tuned for a few starting points to get the conversation going on this topic.
Recycle your used whiteboard markers and other writing utensils on campus.
Around the Ottawa campus, employees have set up drop off points for used whiteboard markers and other writing utensils.
Employees can drop these off at the various locations, or send them via internal mail.
Collection points:

T 107 (T Building) Drop off times: Weekdays 8:00 am – 4:30 pm
The used writing utensils recycled through the Staples / TerraCycle recycling program.
Employees interested in helping out with this program are encouraged to contact the members of the employee sustainability action team, See Earth Action Team for Sustainability (SEATS).
Collection boxes for dry whiteboard markers, pens and other office supplies can easily be set up at various locations around Algonquin College campuses to keep even more waste from the landfill.
