Signs identify water bottle filling stations and areas of landscape irrigated with recycled water.

A self-guided sustainability walking tour exists for any visitors to learn more about different sustainable features on campus. Containing both a map as well as descriptions of sustainable locations, it is an interesting way for anyone to learn more about sustainability on campus.

A page on the Center for Sustainability’s website called “Living Sustainably” helps students save money, reduce waste, and conserve energy. A handout linked on that page has tips for on-or off-campus residents. https://www.scu.edu/sustainability/takeaction/students/living-sustainably/

The Sustainability Strategic Plan includes Playbooks which outline concrete actions the campus community can take to live, work, and learn sustainably, specific to their role at SCU. The campus community is encouraged to collect scout-style badges to showcase their actions to live more sustainably.https://www.scu.edu/sustainability/commitment/strategicplan/playbooks/

Departments across SCU are invited to showcase their contributions to sustainability and to teach their audiences how to incorporate sustainability into their respective areas. Some SCU web sites that have sustainability components:
Campus Recreation: https://www.scu.edu/recreation/about/sustainability/
Markkula Center for Applied Ethics: https://www.scu.edu/environmental-ethics/greenbroncos/sustainability--jesuit-values/
Utilities: https://university-operations.scu.edu/utilities/sustainability/

The Santa Clara University sustainability website is a resource that helps to foster a culture of sustainability throughout campus. The website is organized into seven broad categories: Take Action, Events, Programs, Academics, Operations, University Commitments, and About the Center.

The website serves as an information hub for all interested in sustainability, but specifically for current students, faculty, and staff. It highlights the many events and programs that the SCU community can get involved in to learn more about sustainability and includes practical information to help readers become more sustainable in their everyday lives.

Additionally, the website showcases the University's Sustainability Strategic Plan and other steps SCU is taking towards Climate Neutrality, Zero Waste, and reduced resource use.
