  • Sustainability

    Elon University is currently fulfilling its mission statement to prepare "students to be global citizens and informed leaders motivated by concern for the common good." Elon has adopted a green building policy in which new buildings, consisting of 8,000 or more square feet, are required to pursue LEED Silver certification. The university also boasts multiple LEED Gold buildings. New projects focus on sustainability features, including site stewardship; conservation of water, energy, and other resources; and indoor environmental quality. Other campus-wide initiatives include: over $1 million (including grant funding) committed to the "Bio-Bus" biodiesel transportation program; Building Dashboard, a real-time electricity monitoring system that encourages the campus community to track its own energy use; and a print management system that has reduced paper usage by 70 percent. Elon offers an interdisciplinary environmental studies major, courses on sustainability-related topics, and a program to assist faculty members with incorporating sustainability principles into their curricula. Student peer educators known as Eco-Reps raise awareness of environmental issues and encourage environmentally responsible behavior of fellow students. Environmental speakers, documentary screenings, energy reduction competitions and Earth Week are all designed to promote positive sustainable change. Notably, the composting initiative has moved beyond the dining halls. The campus grounds have also benefitted, with the university collecting and composting its yard waste. In a typical year, around 100 tons of compost are produced from yard waste collected. In campus dining halls, students go trayless in an effort to reduce water usage and food waste. Dining services has a composting program for pre- and post-consumer food waste.
