A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :

We are creating the NY Coalition for Sustainability in Higher Education. Our charge, in part, is to advise sustainability coordinators on “best practices” within the field; to be a conduit for information about policies, practices and ideas, primarily to make them more affordable, available, uniform, consistent, and utilized in order to support environmental needs in New York State; to become a voice on promoting the best interests of sustainability stakeholders with the NYS Legislation and the Federal Government; and to coordinate related activities with coalitions of similar purpose, on a local, regional and national level. One outcome of this coalition building process is we are looking into group REC purchases.
