  • Sustainability

    Brooklyn College participates in the CUNY-mandated Brooklyn Ten-Year Sustainability Plan, a response to former NYC Mayor Bloomberg’s request for all CUNY institutions to reduce their carbon footprints by 30 percent between 2007 and 2017. Brooklyn College's sustainability plan considers several areas: energy, water, transportation, waste management/recycling, procurement, food, health and nutrition, education and outreach, and buildings and grounds. To date, the college has implemented several changes aimed at increasing its sustainability. In the science facilities, retrofitting of laboratory hoods and ventilation equipment has increased their energy efficiency. Brooklyn College was the first CUNY institution to introduce energy reduction measures during peak usage periods. Golf carts have been purchased along with four electric mega-vans for college personnel use. Additional bicycle racks have been placed throughout campus. Organic waste composted by students in the Health and Nutrition Department is used at Floyd Bennett Field. This green university encourages students to evaluate their day-to-day behavior, emphasizing green tips like “BYOB”—Bring Your Own Bottle (for water!) The purchasing and facilities departments are working to increase the use of green cleaning products.
