A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
We are a part of an organization called The Pittsburgh Higher Education Climate Consortium (HECC) that works on sustainable issues in Pittsburgh, PA. Pittsburgh’s institutions of higher education have accepted responsibility for leading the way in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and have collaborated to form The Higher Education Climate Consortium (HECC) to cooperatively implement recommendations. HECC meets quarterly in an effort to address the short-term (within 2 years), medium-term (within 5 years) and long-term (beyond 5 years) recommendations on how colleges, universities and their 70,000 students can reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. For the Pittsburgh Climate Action Plan, Version 2.0, HECC developed a series of recommendations addressing energy use, transportation, recycling & waste management, and general sustainability. Our Director of Sustainability, Mary Whitney, is the 2015 HECC Co-chair.
