Office of the Provost Pledges to Improve Campus Sustainability
The Office of the Provost has pledged to substantially reduce its energy consumption and waste production. In order to accomplish this goal, the office has pledged to:
- recycle/reuse paper
- print front and back copies when possible
- recycle cans
- transport glass to designated glass bins on campus
- avoid furnishing "extra" hard copies of agendas, documents, etc. that have already been sent electronically
- turn out lights when offices are not in use
- shut down computers at night
- eliminate space heater use (except where offices have no heat!)
- use washable cups rather than disposable plastic cups
