All recycling stations and water refill stations are signed appropriately.
As a part of LEED, building signage includes an electronic slide that highlights the green features of the building. This sign is dynamic and updateable.

CCU has a map of the green features found throughout campus. It highlights the water refill stations found throughout campus, recycling centers, recycling bin pick up, where reusable to-go containers can be used, our LEED buildings, and the solar panels on the bus stations.

Sustain Coastal also offers a Campus Green Tour to classrooms and to the general campus community. https://www.coastal.edu/sustain/programsevents/campusgreentours/

Here is an example of a description that was sent out to students about a Green Tour offered in April 2022:

Campus Green Tour
Do you ever wonder about how recycling and composting works on our campus? Or maybe you wish that you knew more about the construction or operations of our buildings, or where all of the beautiful plants are grown? Join Sustain Coastal for a stroll around campus, as we talk all things sustainability. We will visit a LEED building, show you how recycling and composting works on campus, visit the campus greenhouse, talk about transportation, and much more.

A Recycling and Sustainable Living Guide is handed out to students at the beginning of each academic year to communicate information about living green on and off campus. This guide is applicable to students, staff and faculty. The green includes information about recycling, saving water/energy, reducing waste and using alternative transportation as well as getting involved.
