The Bristol Community College (BCC) Sustainability Program marked Earth Day with a celebration on April 19, 2019 to acknowledge the College’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and supporting the environment. A number of campus programs and community organizations, including Mass in Motion Fall River set up exhibits and speakers addressed a mixed crowd of students and members of the community. In the past several years, BCC has expanded its commitment to sustainability through the installation of solar panels in several locations, including the “solar farm” on the roof of the canopy over the south parking lot; a windmill located on the north side of campus, and the opening  of a new self-sustaining science building. Biology Professor James Corvin heads a an Associates Degree program in Sustainable Agriculture Program and a non-credit Master Gardener Program that helps local gardeners improve their skills and learn the best agricultural science for raising food sustainability.
