    Through “Hunter Green”, Hunter College continues to develop dynamic initiatives that raise awareness of green goals and advance urban sustainability in the community. The Hunter College Sustainability Council was developed in 2007 in response to NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s PLaNYC 2030 challenge. A central goal at the College and University level is to design all new construction to meet LEED Silver certification, including plans for a groundbreaking new research facility. In East Harlem, 148,000 square feet of classroom, office, and laboratory space achieved LEED certification. A major library renovation at Hunter’s main Upper East Side campus is incorporating sustainable elements, such as window glazing and an efficient HVAC system, and Phase I of the project will seek LEED certification. Other projects include white roofs that reduce building heat load and urban heat island effects and a 3-kW photovoltaic rooftop installation that serves as a teaching tool. The college examines energy data to develop solutions that manage usage more efficiently. Students can get involved in sustainability in many ways. Hunter’s Departments of Geography and Urban Affairs & Planning and its School of Public Health offer sustainability-related coursework, and efforts are underway to establish a sustainability minor and certificate program. The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF), a student funded grant, allows students to collaborate with other campus groups to implement projects ranging from increased bicycle parking and security to environmental awareness campaigns. The most successful TGIF project to date has been the installation of 34 water-bottle filling stations, which have diverted over 2 million 16-ounce plastic bottles from the municipal waste stream.
