Gettysburg College Sustainability



Gettysburg used 41,000,000 gallons of water in 2010. That's enough to flood Stine Lake to a depth of 300 feet!

Kennie's offers a $0.05 discount for every reusable bag you bring while shopping!

In 2010, the Painted Turtle Farm collected a half ton of compost from Servo.

In 2010, over 2 MILLION sheets of paper were printed at the library. That's over 750 sheets per student. Think before you print!
