  • Sustainability

    SUNY Geneseo has established the Environmental Impact and Sustainability Task Force, which studies, recommends, and manages sustainability efforts across the campus. The president also signed the ACUPCC, which has the Task Force working around the clock to develop a Climate Action Plan and ensures that all new building construction and renovation projects will achieve LEED Silver or better. The college solicits student ideas on how the college can become more sustainable through an annual survey. As a result of this idea sharing, students and administrators have successfully implemented a number of initiatives on campus, including the introduction of the Geneseo Public Bus Service, which has reduced the number of cars on campus. Another success story is “Geneseo Gives Back,” a waste-diversion program that keeps an estimated 15 tons of materials from landfills at the end of every academic year. Campus recycling programs also exist for printer cartridges and toner, paper, plastic, and metal. Seneca Residence Hall incorporates geothermal heating and bioretention ponds and plenty of other green features—enough to earn the building LEED Gold. Four other buildings under construction or renovation also are incorporating geothermal heating. The college was also the first in the SUNY system to begin using green cleaning products (75 percent of cleaning products on campus are Green Seal-certified). The GEO (Geneseo Environmental Organization) is one of the most active student organizations on campus, leading conservation efforts through energy savings contests, bottled water campaigns, awareness campaigns, and more.
