The Energy & Sustainability Office also offers several training opportunities throughout the year for students, faculty and staff. In November 2023, the Energy & Sustainability Office offered a "Zero Waste Lunch and Learn" that went over different kinds of waste at WSU, sustainable purchasing, and allowed participants to help brainstorm solutions for recycling contamination, reducing event waste, and more. In addition, the Green Badge Program helps students, faculty, and staff learn more about different sustainability topics each month.
