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
