Case Study

At Penn State which is located in Central Pennsylvania, have a water refilling station on the first floor of the chambers building. It refill cups and containers, it also have a time that it turn off. Everyone can use the re filler students, staff, and outsiders. There are 800 and more students that go to the chambers building. The school is big and there is about 94,301 students that attend Penn Stare. Its is a public university.

The 3E-COE a student organization started the safe environment thing on campus. They hope that everyone learn there lesson about natural environment. This is a group that do the same thing we do at Office of sustainability but the difference between us and them, they research on nature and the world that is surrounding us. They hope to get refill stations in every building on the campus to prevent from using bottles. 3E-COE and numerous ecology-interest group was in involved getting the refill station installed. This is also part of a larger environmental campaign.

The type of unit that they install is a sensor-activated filling station, it have a touch less dispenser with an automated turn off timer. It is entirely new united ,they only install one in the Chambers building. They got there first break when they hosted a rally in front of the Old Main about water bottles after the rally there was a meeting. They tell people that water bottled are taking over landfills and roadways. The president of this organization name is Peter Buckland.

I think that this was a very good idea and I like the fact that people do use the water re filler. I like how u don't have to touch the machine, you can just put your cup or container up to it and the water come out.It is less grimy because the ones we got you have to push the button and a lot of people don't wash there hands that's another good reason that I would use the re filler. It do look good enough to draw people in.
