A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):

Green Leaders in the Green Office Network Program help to integrate sustainable practices into the daily routines of all other staff in their office. Green Leaders educate their peers about a range of sustainable behaviors, from turning off unused electronics, to printing double-sided, to stocking the office kitchens with reusable dishware. We keep members updated with the latest news, resources, and programs in sustainability on campus.  Our vision is that Green Office Network members will not only help to reduce waste, decrease the university’s carbon footprint and more, but will also serve as messengers of our vision for a sustainable campus community.
