California State University, Northridge
PA-1: Sustainability Coordination

CSUN established the Green Core team in 2008 at the inception of the Institute for Sustainability. It is comprised of faculty, administrators, staff and students to form a cross-divisional working group, which meets monthly and participates in the operations of the Institute. In 2014 the Green Core group developed 10 working groups to specifically target all sections of the Sustainability plan.

The Green Core's purpose is to inspire, lead, and collaborate on projects to green the CSUN campus.
