A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
In an effort to make CSUN a more "environmentally-friendly" campus, the Sustainable Office Program provides information and resources for improving sustainability in the office setting. This program is ran through the Associated Students on campus and is staffed entirely by students with staff guidance. These students evaluate current office practices and make recommendations on how they can improve their sustainability efforts. The participating offices are ranked on a scale similar LEED (Silver, Gold and Platinum). After the initial visit, an office can request a follow up visit to show their progress and hopefully improve their ranking.
