  • Sustainability

    Solar energy may be a no-brainer in sunny California, but California State University— Monterey Bay has parlayed that inheritance into a formidable green pedigree. An early signatory to ACUPCC, the university is making good of its pledge to be carbon-neutral by 2030 through several innovative energy-saving initiatives. The university has formed a revolving Energy Innovations Fund that will support energy-saving projects on campus and repay itself through energy savings. CSUMB is one of eighteen CSU campuses where solar-power generation is already in place. The solar installation of over six acres at CSUMB features 3,900 photovoltaic panels which deliver enough zero-emission renewable energy (1 megawatt of power) to meet 16 percent of the university’s electricity needs. CSUMB’s Food Service operations demonstrate a high commitment to organic foods, compost all pre and post consumer food waste, utilize compostable packaging and serving products, and recycle cooking oil. In 2013 CSUMB achieved an astonishing 79 percent waste-diversion rate assisted by the ubiquity of on-campus housing and common area blue recycle bins, a large end of the year move out donation and recycling event and a contract requirement that 90 percent of former Fort Ord Army building demolition material must be recycled. 90 percent of the campus’ buildings have undergone energy-related retrofits in the past few years and custodians meet the stringent CIMS Green Building with Honors standards and use Green Seal Certified products. Green learning opportunities abound on campus, as students can take courses in everything from environmental writing to food ethics. Even the campus police have made strides, trading in some gas guzzling vehicles and adding its first plug-in hybrid to the fleet along with electric scooters. The commitment to green continues all the way to graduation where students wear gowns sewn with material made entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
