Case Study

New york university has projects every year dedicated to improving the environment. Every year NYU has a project this year they decided to do one on a expert called the green grants project. The goal was to help implement some sort of progress toward sustainability. This university is the largest private school in the country it's student body is 21,269. NYU is a a university that really gets involved and comes up with different methods and strategies to make a difference. This university offers a broad range of job careers and a diverse majors.

NYU had conducted a experiment called filter for Eco challenge. They were doing a seminar on water stations. The graduates of the school had decided to create refill stations on campus for students to be able to refill usable water bottles all throughout campus. The cause of them deciding to install refill stations was to improve the environment and go green. The movement increased got so large that teachers and faculty got involved and reached out and decided to join.

Water meters were installed on all NYU buildings on campus. NYU is currently going throughout the process of creating 25+ installation for water bottles. Attached to the back of the water fountain is a lever that you place your bottle water underneath of the lever. All of this water fountains are placed all around he campus.

I think that there efforts will not go unnoticed. I think its a clean and effective way to draw people in. The fountain looks clean and sanitary to drink from that's why I think there is strong possibilities for this to become a world wide eventually. During reading this I became extremely intrigued about the amounts of people who decided to join. Often times people try to help the environment but are unsuccessful because people aren't willing to join and help, or people just aren't interested.
