Employees in the Environmental Stewardship office will work with departments or individuals interested in becoming greener. In other instances, a project will be rolled out first, and Green Champions will be selected in each area in which the project touches. For example, the new paper reduction pilot project calls upon all of Facilities and Operations, as well as the Mailman School of Public Health. We have elected approximately 15 Green Champions at each location (Facilities and Public Health) to represent all departments within these groups. These green champions meet every other week to discuss best practices, share successes and potential stumbling blocks.
