Green Teams
None
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A Green Team is an informal group of faculty, staff, and students in a particular campus unit who work collectively to promote environmentally, socially, and economically friendly practices within that unit. Getting involved with a Green Team is a great way for members of the Indiana University community to reduce the environmental impacts of their office while also helping Indiana University become a more sustainable institution!
None
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Green Teams can have their offices certified at four different levels of sustainability (seed, sprout, sapling, and tree). Each level is attained by the completion of a checklist, which requires that at least 75% of the items on the list are pursued, including any innovation credits. These criteria reduce energy use and increase the sustainability of the office by reducing paper use and increasing recycling rates. Green Teams have initiated a number of activities within their buildings with positive results. One recent example is the IU Art Museum which applied for, and received, funding to install solar panels to offset the use of electricity for its iconic outdoor "light totem."
