Commitment to sustainability drives UCCS student leader
Nothing demands a solution like a broken toilet.
That’s what Mae Rohrbach learned in the UCCS dorms in the fall of 2013.
“We had to flush it multiple times until we got it fixed. I thought: There is so much water being wasted,” says Mae, now a senior studying geography and environmental studies.
Most students would fix it and forget it. But Mae and a couple classmates from her “Sustainable Me” environmental studies course knew this problem deserved a longer look.
“We thought about the toilets,” she recalls. A lot.
