Proud to highlight the incredible work of Toxic Free Philly Drexel, as they champion organic practices at Drexel University! Through their activism, innovative, and hands-on research, these students have paved the way making Drexel a fully organic campus. Through their research, the team is analyzing weed pressure to gauge the effectiveness of sustainable turf management techniques. Here’s a look behind the scenes: ?? Using a random number generator, students select spots on campus. ?? At each location, they toss a square frame and estimate the weed coverage within it, rounding to the nearest 10%. ?? By averaging estimates, they get a clear picture of weed presence and overall turf health! Their commitment is proving that healthier, pesticide-free campuses aren’t just possible—they’re the future. Together, we’re reimagining what sustainable, resilient landscapes look like in higher education. This movement at Drexel is just the beginning! #SustainableCampus #OrganicLandCare #PesticideFree #RewildYourCampus #HigherEdSustainability #GreenCampusInitiative #StudentActivism #EnvironmentalLeadership #EcoFriendly #CampusSustainability #FutureOfLandscapes #ToxicFree
