At Durham College, sustainability guides our decisions and practices in fostering the continued success and well-being of our students, people and planet.
Did you know that the stone wall in our Centre for Collaborative Education (CFCE) building is originally from the Simcoe Building? Built in 1969, it was the longest standing building in DC's history! #ThrowbackThursday#tbt
Perfect timing that #WorldEnvironmentDay falls within #BikeMonth especially when this year's theme is #BeatAirPollution ! An easy way to immediately reduce your impact on air pollution is by changing the way you travel. Why not try biking, walking, or taking the bus? #LivingGreen
Today is #BikeToWorkDay and Day 1 of @BikeMonth 2019! Check out events taking place all month long here: https://t.co/vw0f6Tk4VF Do your part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, get on your bike, and keep #LivingGreen !
This picture was taken in April at our greenhouse on Whitby campus, where students and staff have been tending to swamp milkweed that will soon be planted throughout the region to help monarch butterfly caterpillars thrive.

Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! Days like today draw attention to the plight of many species on our planet in rapidly-changing ecosystems. Even small, every-day decisions can help promote biodiversity, like designing your garden to attract pollinator species 1/2
Happy #EarthDay! To celebrate, here’s an update on our Simcoe Geothermal Field project and Energy Innovation Centre, which is being completed in partnership with @SiemensCanada. For more info, visit https://t.co/ptsPJ4WMy3.
Happy #EarthDay!! A perfect day to get #caughtgreenhanded ! Take a moment today to reflect on your impact on the planet, and the changes you can make to conserve energy, reduce waste, use less water, travel more sustainably, and consume less. It’s what #LivingGreen is all about.
