  • Sustainability

    When it comes to going green, St. Mary’s College of Maryland is all about practicing what they preach. Case in point: SMCM derives an impressive 63 percent of its energy consumption from renewable sources. Even better, the college offsets approximately 115 percent of total electricity consumption through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). As a signatory of both the Talloires Declaration and the ACUPCC, SMCM’s Sustainability Committee has established a Climate Action Plan that will help it reach its campus-wide goal of becoming climate neutral. To support this effort, the college established an arboretum committee, and is working to reduce storm water runoff and protect the Chesapeake Bay by planting trees and installing rain gardens and bioswales. The college is also an Energy Star partner. SMCM has determined that all new construction on campus will seek LEED Silver, at a minimum. The college’s first LEED Silver building, Goodpaster Hall, has reduced SMCM’s impact on the environment through not only its construction (recycled or renewable materials were used when possible), but also in its function (the building “saves 300,000 gallons of water annually” and uses “30 to 40 percent less energy than a conventional building”). Currently, an impressive 80 percent of campus buildings have undergone energy-related retrofits. SMCM offers sustainable research opportunities in biology, economics, mathematics, and public policy. And the college doesn’t forget about the role food plays in the environment either. Forty-five percent of food expenditures on campus go toward local and/or organic foods.
