Green Strides Green Strides
Implementing Colgate University's Environmental Greenprint
Willow Walk
Feasibility

Assign each potential stride a feasibility level: GREEN, YELLOW, RED

To determine the feasibility level that you will assign:

1)  Think broadly of feasibility in terms of the following:

  • How “do-able” is this initiative?
  • How easy will it be to implement?
  • What "road blocks” stand in the way of implementation?
2)  Assess the potential stride in these three areas:

Campus Culture
  • Current level of support or potential “buy in”/receptivity from community (students, staff, administrators, faculty)
Operations/Oversight
  • Amount of work and time required for implementation
Cost/Funding
  • Estimated cost of implementation
  • Type (e.g. grant, budget) and availability of funding

IMPORTANCE Factors

1)  Think broadly of importance in terms of the following:
To what extent would the University by proud to celebrate this initiative as a Green Stride? What is the magnitude of the initiative?

2) Assess the potential stride in these three areas:

Environmental Impact Reduction

  • To what extent will it reduce environmental impact?
Scope
  • How many people will be influenced?
Financial Savings
  • In the long-term, how much money will it save?
