ON THE GROUND
Teresa Rhodes, Keep
Indianapolis Beautiful
In
2008, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful started their Tree Campus USA program
in collaboration with Indiana University as a way for the college
community to make a commitment to their campus trees. Sometimes
overlooked, campus trees can significantly improve energy efficiency,
reduce carbon dioxide, and provide green spaces for students and
faculty to gather.
