Sustaining the Green
planCarbon Neutrality, Renewable Energy, Green Building & Sustainable Practices

Colleges nationwide have joined together in addressing the challenges of a changing climate, diminishing oil reserves, vanishing habitat, and declining regional economies. As a signer of the American College &University Presidents Climate Commitment and member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), ESF is a core participant in large-scale cooperative efforts.

Yet ESF is unique among colleges and universities in that all of its educational and research programs are oriented toward natural resources, and toward the natural and designed environments. All that ESF is and does serves the mission of achieving a sustainable world.

You—students, faculty, staff, alumni, partners and friends—are invited to join in the many sustainability initiatives of 'Sustaining the Green'.
