- W100683443 abstract "The increasing population has had a negative impact on water use, energy use, and waste generation/disposal at global and national levels. Therefore, conservation plans have been created and implemented to address these impacts. For my senior project I investigated the ways in which McPherson College has a negative impact on the environment and suggested a conservation plan that will reduce the effects it has on the environment. Through my research I have analyzed the consequences of the college’s actions by collecting data and observing the campus’s behavior. My results proved my hypothesis correct, showing that the college has had a relatively negative impact on the environment. The data I collected focused on utility bills, waste audits, and showerhead testing. Electric, water, and waste disposal usage and cost were the greatest during the summer months and natural gas usage and cost were the highest during the winter and fall. The entire campus population contributed to the high cost and usage per capita for electric, water, and waste. The annual electric and waste disposal costs increased in the last five years (1998-2002). The water and natural gas costs decreased, so therefore the over all utility cost decreased. These results suggest that through utility trends, low population, and increasing annual electric and waste disposal costs, McPherson College has had a negative impact on the environment. As a result of testing the showerhead flow rates in each dorm, I have concluded that Dotzour showerheads wasted more water than those in Bittinger and Morrison. Through the waste audits I conducted, I found that the college generated a large amount of non recyclable waste and disposed food that could be composted and paper that could be recycled. These results are interesting due to the fact that the college has paper-recycling stations available, thus showing that the current recycling program is ineffective. Based on my observations of the college’s actions and management polices, I have seen that institutional practices pertaining to water and energy use were wasteful. During the waste audits I observed that the college generated a large amount of waste that could be recycled and disposed of articles that be reused. Through the data I collected and the behaviors I observed I have created a conservation plan for McPherson College that addresses the institution’s energy use, water use, and waste generation/disposal." @default.
