  • Sustainability

    Miami University’s sustainability motto is “Love red, live green,” and MU puts those words into action. Miami’s Sustainability Goals and Commitments include plans for a 20 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2020 and a phase-out of coal burning for steam heat by 2025—but it isn’t all about the distant future. Miami is amid a major shift to geothermal heating and cooling, beginning with energy efficient retrofits of its two oldest campus buildings built all the way back in 1825 and 1836! The university’s Long Range Housing Master Plan guarantees it won’t stop there. LEED certification will now be required for all new projects and major renovations on campus, and Miami’s first comprehensive Storm Water Master Plan promotes rain gardens, cisterns, green roofing, and permeable paving. Active community participation is everywhere at Miami. A walkable campus, new bike paths, and expanded transit make it even easier for students to leave their cars at home. Students get involved in Miami Zero Waste, campus-wide RecycleMania, and an Eco-Reps program instituted in residence halls. All the while, faculty and staff participate in a parallel program "Sustainability Champions.” What’s more, Miami Career Services has a wide variety of resources to assist students with finding jobs in the green economy. The Redhawks are now souring upward!
