Discussion board for Class Project
Possible Projects - Ideas
The following is a list of the topics proposed in Tuesday's class. No detail
here, just the topics. The numbers imply no ranking, they are just there for
reference. If I have left out any of the ideas proposed Tuesday, let me know.
We need to choose a topic that is a) doable in the time we have this fall and
b) has the potential to make a difference in the long-term.
- Farmer's Market - expand the time during which the market
is available - in Mt Vernon, in Gambier?
- Raise Chickens at Kenyon - grow our own eggs
- Organic/local breakfast - prepare/serve breakfast on Saturday
mornings using local foods
- Organic/local dinner - prepare/serve dinner using local
foods
- Master Plan - influence decisions on student housing
- Evaluate Food Service Plan - what is possible at Kenyon?
What do other colleges do? Coops?
- Green House - work with John Marsh to get a greenhouse
for local food production - research, planning, hands-on
- Off the Grid Community - research, propose a living unit
at Kenyon that is sustainable
