Green Practices Committee Scotty Goes Green Program
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The Scotty Goes Green Program uses peer-to-peer outreach to raise awareness and increase environmentally sustainable practices in offices and academic departments across the Carnegie Mellon campus, and in the lives and homes of the people who work in those offices and departments. The program includes a rating and award structure (Bronze to Gold certification) to encourage ongoing engagement and improvement. The campus Environmental Coordinator recruits and trains staff and faculty as Scotty Goes Green liaisons on an ongoing basis. Liaison training addresses practices such as environmentally effective purchasing, physical space operation and management, daily food choices and choices for catered events, employee commuting and travel, waste reduction, composting and recycling. Liaisons then train/engage those within their office/department to raise awareness of and implement more sustainable practices. Guided by checklists of effective practices, offices and departments assess their current performance and pursue increasing levels of Scotty program recognition. The checklists and guidance for achieving Bronze through Gold ratings are attached to this credit and make clear how peer outreach works within the program and extends even further to student sustainability activities and employee practices at home; Gold certification, for example, includes a requirement that each employee implement at least 5 sustainable practices at home and that the office/department supports at least one student or campus-wide sustainability event each year.
