Green Programs

Eliminate Plastic Water Bottles
This year, Keystone College eliminated the use of over 800 plastic water bottles by distributing reusable Nalgene bottles to incoming freshmen students. This not only reduced the carbon footprint left by our students, but also eliminated the possibility of littering. 

Keep Our Air Clean
To promote clean air and a healthy environment for all of the campus community, Keystone College has prohibited smoking on campus except for a few designated smoking areas. The College seeks to become a completely smoke-free environment within the next three years.
