  • Sustainability

    Stretching across more than 27,000 gorgeous acres, Berry College holds the record for the largest college campus in the world. Home to acre upon acre of wetlands, pastures, streams, and forests, and Georgia’s Lavender Mountain serving as backdrop, it is a virtual no brainer that this campus is a green leader. Berry’s Office of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability ensures compliance with EPA regulations to protect the campus’ Carbon Reserve, wetland banking, wetland management, and other natural resources. Campus grounds are maintained organically where possible, and active ongoing research and use in biodiesel fuels, Longleaf Yellow Pine, the American Chestnut, Agroforestry, CSA natural vegetable, and recycling give students on campus ample experiential learning opportunities. The college continues its commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by over 10 percent by the year 2020. In addition to S.A.V.E. (Students Against Violating the Earth) and Berry’s Student Government Association, the college has an eight-member Green Team responsible for educating students and planning programs to lead the college in Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. The campus has hosted special events to highlight environmental careers, and administrators have recently established an environmental science major. Berry has a comprehensive recycling program (successfully diverting more than one-third of its waste from landfills) that includes electronics. Dining services has eliminated the use of polystyrene to-go boxes and switched to tray-less dining. In addition, all yard waste is composted or converted to biomass fuel. In 2011, Berry’s Morgan and Deerfield residence halls both achieved LEED Gold. That same year, the Residence Life staff partnered with students to implement a small-scale pilot program called the Berry Environmental Living and Learning (BELL) house, an opportunity for a living project that could be beneficial from a big picture environmental perspective, emphasizing action on or near campus. The college has committed to seeking LEED certification whenever possible in all construction projects.
