The Sustainability Advocate Program harnesses the effort, energy, and enthusiasm of employees to “green” their own departments and work spaces, while educating others and increasing awareness throughout the university.
Advocates are volunteers who spend a few hours per month of paid work time, encouraging colleagues to make environmentally preferable choices and leading departmental efforts to conserve energy, purchase green office products, and improve recycling. » more
