Wesleyan Sustainability

Sustainability Advisory Group for Environmental Stewardship

The Sustainability Advisory Group is responsible for developing a Campus Climate Action Plan.  This plan will describe the actions – policies, programs, and measures – that Wesleyan will take to meet specified greenhouse gas reduction targets and timetables as well as identify other ways to achieve carbon neutrality. The committee, comprised of students, faculty, and staff, is also responsible for researching and tasking campus departments to implement the proposed measures.

The committee will look at all aspects of campus activity, including energy consumption, procurement, transportation, construction and renovations, recycling and waste, grounds management, and dining, and recommend ways for all of them to become more environmentally sustainable.

Purchasing
Buy food produced locally to reduce the impact of shipping foodstuffs around the world. Try to avoid buying food that is only grown in faraway places (mangoes, bananas, pineapples, etc.).
