2 LION FALL 2016 WWW.LCC.CA 3 CHAMPIONS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT By Dana Kobernick, Communications Specialist As concern for our planet continues to grow, so too have efforts to reduce environmental impacts and bring about improvements to products, services and processes at LCC. Making operations sustainable and developing green practices have fast become priorities for the administration, faculty, staff and students alike. Whether through their involvement on the Green Team or by innovating in the classroom to address environmental problems, students are taking ownership of their role in protecting and preserving resources. And, most importantly, they are in some instances witnessing the positive consequences of their actions.

Here is a sampling of some of the projects that LCC students have undertaken...

*WHAT IS AN ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER? Arduino is an open-source platform, based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards read inputs (lights on a sensor, a finger on a

LAND RESTORATION button) and turn them into outputs (activating a motor, turning on an LED light). Using Arduino programming language and software, you can tell your board what to do by sending instructions to the microcontroller on the board. Source: arduino.cc
