A brief description of the plan of action to achieve water use reduction goals:

Humboldt State University follows the California State University Office of the Chancellor’s Executive Order 987, which reaffirms the need to conserve energy and other resources in order to achieve goals originally set in 2001 and reevaluated in 2005. The California State University Board of Trustees' physical plant management policy outlines "...All CSU campuses will take every necessary step to conserve water resources." It encourages campuses to continue to adopt an integrated design approach that includes sustainable materials and practices. It also requires new goals that should be forthcoming in an update to the sustainability policies, expected to be released sometime during 2013. More information can also be found in the CSU Sustainability Report at: http://www.calstate.edu/pa/documents/CSU_Sustainability_Report_2011.pdf.
