  • Sustainability

    Florida State University is making impressive strides toward sustainability on all fronts. All new construction and major renovations on campus must be designed and built with green attributes. To date, there are eight LEED-certified buildings with four more under construction or awaiting certification. The university offers a wide range of courses that explore the three pillars of sustainability: environmental issues, social issues, and economics. Multiple organizations and programs are in place to engage the FSU student body in environmental activism on and off campus, including a student-run football game recycling program—aptly titled “The Garnet and Gold Goes Green”—and an Eco-Reps program. Alternative transportation is in style at FSU, where the university encourages and facilitates the use of bikes through the ReCycle bike sharing program. Buses, carpools, and the special GOTCHA Green Taxi, an eco-friendly marketing and promotions company, provide free, safe rides around town. They’re definitely on the right track: 95 percent of grounds are maintained organically; 95 percent of buildings have designated recycling areas; and the school boasts an ever-increasing 45 percent waste-diversion rate.
