  • Sustainability

    Maharishi University of Management (MUM) is home to a facility described by the Associated Press as “the ultimate green building.” Completed in April 2012, this “building that teaches” houses the Sustainable Living program and generates its own electricity, heating, cooling and water. It’s a perfect complement to the university’s four-year bachelor of arts degree in sustainable living. The Sustainable Living program recently added a new focus: micro-enterprise as a tool for hands-on experience and job preparedness. In one case, students worked to complete an off-the-grid biodiesel production facility.. The station reduces waste on campus by turning used cooking oil from the cafeteria into fuel for co-op members! A composting facility has been constructed and is now a student run micro-enterprise that employs three people. The methodology is based on Dr. Elaine Ingham’s method of microscopically monitored thermal composting. Students in this track also have the opportunity to intern at the famous Rodale Institute. In addition to these new developments, much of the produce in the vegetarian, 97 percent organic, campus cafeteria is still provided by the university farm. One hundred percent of food scraps from the dining hall are composted, a project that has created 75 tons of soil over the course of only three and a half years. A system of single-stream recycling stations and dumpsters in dorms and on campus further increases the volume of the school’s waste diverted from landfills. Additionally, MUM filed an ambitious Climate Action Plan to reduce carbon emissions and target 100 percent of electricity used on campus from renewable sources by 2017.
