Sustainability
One look at Bates’ environmental history and you’ll quickly realize that the college means business when it comes to sustainability. Students, alumni, and staff demonstrated a clear commitment to environmental protection before “going green” became everyone's favorite buzz phrase. In 1980, Bates was “one of the first colleges in the Northeast to install a solar heating system.” In 1991, the school instituted a recycling program, and in 2005, Bates signed a five-year contract to use renewable electricity on campus. Since 1995, the college has had an environmental policy, and more recently, Bates signed ACUPCC, pledging to work toward becoming a climate neutral campus by 2020. Case in point: An impressive 100 percent of the college’s electricity consumption is offset with renewable energy certificates. All new buildings and building renovations will achieve LEED Silver equivalency or better. Residence halls and the dining Commons feature dual-flush toilets, low-emitting materials, and energy-efficient equipment. Bates keeps a keen eye on recycling (Did we mention the wood ceiling in the dining commons was salvaged from an old phonograph factory?). The Bates Energy Task Force focuses on ways the school can reduce energy consumption, costs, and emissions across campus. In addition, Bates has a Committee on Environmental Responsibility working to continuously improve sustainability on campus. As of the end of 2012, the college is doing an impressive job—28 percent of the dining program’s food is locally grown and/or organic, 100 percent of the cleaning products used on campus are Green Seal-certified and 100 percent of the buildings have designated recycling areas. From exploring Maine’s natural environment of mountains, lakes, and the ocean—all in Bates’ backyard—to studying climate change, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy, there’s lot of opportunity for students to get involved.
