Â鶹ӰԺ

Fifteen years after kicking off the first NCAA Division 1 sports sustainability program (dubbed Ralphie’s Green Stampede), CU Â鶹ӰԺ is finding new ways to make progress toward its sustainability goals, determined to build upon previous efforts. 

If you plan to move soon, this is a great time to prepare. Whether you live on or off campus, here’s a checklist to help you wrap up the end of the year.

The Campus Sustainability Executive Council convened on March 12, discussing the addition of student members to the group and more.

The Hellems Arts and Sciences building renovation is underway, and the project includes multiple aspects designed to reduce the building’s environmental impact.

You can make sustainable choices this spring break to help you save money, protect the environment and live with intention. Learn more.

CU Â鶹ӰԺ has collaborated with Xcel Energy and Colorado CarShare to provide a shared electric vehicle and electric vehicle charging station in the Williams Village parking lot. Membership discounts and ride credits will be available to campus community members.

Members of CU Â鶹ӰԺ’s Masters of the Environment graduate program recently congratulated partners at multiple Colorado state offices for receiving the Charles F. Kettering Award. The MENV community was involved in nominations for the award.

All students, faculty and staff are encouraged to review CU Â鶹ӰԺ’s draft Climate Action Plan and comment via the online feedback form. The deadline for feedback is March 5.

Biking to campus is a great way to get exercise and practice sustainability, even during the winter months. Get tips and celebrate Winter Bike to Work Day with the rest of the Â鶹ӰԺ community by riding to campus on Feb. 9

A new council, chaired by Patrick O’Rourke, will be charged with leading overarching campus sustainability implementation efforts, including driving action, transparency and accountability around CU Â鶹ӰԺ’s carbon neutrality commitments and the forthcoming campus Climate Action Plan.
