Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
BOTTLED WATER NOTES:
Stanford's institutional focus tends to emphasize behavior change and appropriate infrastructure support rather than campus-wide product mandates. Over the last few years there has been widespread replacement of bottled water coolers with water filters. Stanford Dining presents a reusable water bottled to each student with a meal plan and does not offer bottled water in the dining halls. Major campus events, such as Reunion/Homecoming, New Student Orientation, Commencement, and Parent's Weekend have made major strides towards eliminating bottled water. In conjunction with the 2009 Senior Games, a number of the outdoor water bottle filling stations were installed near athletic areas on campus. Please note that bottled water is made available at athletic-type events with a diverse audience, and bottled water is also stored on campus for safety as part of the university's earthquake preparedness program.
WATERLESS URINAL NOTES:
Approximately 30% of urinals are either pint-flush or waterless. Please note that Stanford installed five (5) waterless urinals as a pilot project. Through parallel pilot projects, the university determined the pint-flush urinal to be a preferred option for campus. Following the pilot, 299 pint-flush urinals were installed on campus.
