The Cows, Colleges, and Sustainability Workshop website has not been significantly updated since 2006. We are preserving the web pages here because they still contain useful and ideas and content. But be aware that it may have out of date information.
If you're interested in sustainability, you may want to explore these resources from Teach the Earth.
