Does the institution make training and professional development opportunities in sustainability available to all staff?:
A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
Our Green Office program certifies faculty and staff office suites based on things like energy use, waste reduction, campus participation, and purchasing decisions. After discussing sustainability in the workplace, we start with a simple audit—to let them see where
they stand on our three-tier scale: “Seedling”, “Sapling” or “Tree”. Then we provide some basic tips on how to make personal and lifestyle choices that are more sustainable, so they can gradually progress up the scale.
Faculty and staff are quickly learning how their day-to-day actions affect not just their offices, but the campus, community and planet. They’re more aware of how they use resources, and see how positive individual choices can add up and make a real, measurable difference.
