  • Sustainability

    The techies at California State Polytechnic University in Pomona have taken a methodical, systematic approach to sustainability. Since first signing the ACUPCC, the university has completed two baseline inventories for its greenhouse gas emissions. In the process, the university discovered that most of its emissions come from purchased electricity and from student and faculty cars, since it is a commuter campus. In an effort to reduce its environmental impact, the university has implemented a new policy that requires all office equipment and appliances to be Energy Star-rated, improves access to public transport, and offers priority parking for commuters who carpool. At the Center, students and faculty work on new low energy technology and building plans, and other processes that can “restore, renew, and revitalize their own sources of energy and materials.” The Center offers a master of science in regenerative studies and a minor in regenerative studies for undergrads interested in sustainability and interdisciplinary learning. Students get to see their research put to immediate practical use. The university uses 100 percent reclaimed water and also uses trayless dining services to save on water and energy costs from washing trays. Students at Cal Poly Pomona recently participated in the RecycleMania contest, and the university already boasts a 70 percent waste-diversion rate. In 2011, the College of Environmental Design received a $100,000 grant “to address social and environmental sustainability issues through the newly created California Center for Land and Water Stewardship (CCLAWS).”
