  • Sustainability

    Southern New Hampshire University is the first carbon neutral university campus in New Hampshire. The university has entered into an agreement with PPM Energy that enables SNHU to stabilize its energy prices for fifteen years, offset all its carbon production, and invest in other carbon-offsetting technology. As part of the agreement, SNHU will also receive 17,500 renewable energy credits per year, which translates into 13,125 tons of carbon dioxide per year. SNHU is also launching a green initiative with EARTH University in Costa Rica. This initiative calls for both universities to become carbon neutral within two years, share research, promote faculty collaboration, host an annual sustainability conference, and exchange teaching resources. The administration emphasizes sustainability on campus through “CORE”—curriculum, operations, research, engagement. SNHU’s “One Earth. One Bottle” campaign aims to get students, faculty, and staff to drink tap instead of bottled water by providing stainless steel water bottles for free to members of the campus community who sign a pledge not to purchase bottled water. SNHU’s interdisciplinary Environment, Ethics and Public Policy degree program combines course work in science, ethics, law and public policy to prepare students to respond to the challenges posed by sustainability in the twenty first century. Student-run organizations like the Environmentally Sustainable Students’ (ESS) group hold events like Plant-a-Tree Day, and recruit volunteers to clean up area ponds. Clean transportation is available through the Penmen Bike Rental Program, and restrooms on campus are equipped with water-saving toilets and sinks.
