A brief summary of additional ways the institution collaborates with other campuses to advance sustainability :
The UNLV Sustainability coordinator works closely with the University of Nevada Reno Cooperative Extension on issues related to sustainability especially around campus issues, green waste recycling and reduction, and home gardens. One recent example was backyard composting promotion and education. UNLV and UNCE recently co-hosted an educational campaign and Southern Nevada's first ever composting bin truckload sale. The truckload sale was designed to encourage single family residents to start backyard composting by selling well made and effective composting bins at reduced price in a one day sale and educational event.
