FGCU Campus Walk

Going on the campus walk through FGCU helped me to discover the nature aspect of the campus since I have always spent time I the developed portion of the campus thus far in my time here at the University.  I believe that this site selection of the FGCU campus was very logical.  It is surrounded by plenty of open area to expand in order to fit the needs of the growing population of the school and has the options of both downtown Fort Myers and Naples nearby. The campus is consistent with the “eco-empowerment” mission of the university as it has taken several different measures to meet these standards.  Some of the measures taken include solar pannals for energy and dual flushing toilets,  Florida Gulf Coast University has also placed recycle bins throughout campus, which are animal friendly in their way of locking shut.  FGCU has also maintained their promise of keeping a majority of the campus undeveloped, as a place for nature and wildlife.

 My particular background does not predispose me to a certain viewpoint, however, as I get older and learn more about the evirnoment and sustainability, my viewpoints have changed to be more in favor of environmentally friendly ideas.
