The purpose of Respect the Nest is to educate the campus about the environment and to spread awareness about being sustainable and responsible, both with the environment on our own college campus and in the larger Manchester area. Respect the Nest specifically seeks to fulfill this mission by organizing clean-ups, events, awareness campaigns, and initiatives that promote protecting our environment. Respect the Nest is specifically referring to “respect of place” and honoring our own campus community, or our “Nest,” while also assisting the greater Manchester community with sustainability efforts.
