  • Sustainability

    As a combined land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant university, Texas A&M has a long history of environmental research and education. Texas A&M was a charter member of the AASHE Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) program, and in 2012 received a silver STARS rating. The schools Energy Action Plan 2015 set a goal of reducing energy consumption by 20 percent between 2011 and 2015. Since 2002, the school has managed to decrease its energy consumption from 6.8 trillion BTUs to 4.8 trillion while simultaneously expanding the campus. While Texas may be known as a land of brisket and BBQ, Texas A&M provides vegetarian and vegan options for all meals at the Sbisa dining facility. The school works to use organic and locally grown food in all its facilities. The university’s “Borrow a Bike” program provides free bicycles, which is helpful given Texas A&M’s massive 5,500-acre campus. All students and employees have access to this free and sustainable form of transportation. In addition, the school provides free shuttle services around campus and the local community. Texas A&M is a school that believes in the power of its students, and students delivered with the creation of the Aggie Green Fund (AGF). Since 2011, AGF has awarded over $1.1 million in grant dollars for campus environmental improvements. Example projects include part-time funding for the Office of Sustainability Outreach Team, Big Belly Solar trash compactors, water bottle filling stations, and funding for the student run Howdy! Farm that provides organic—and tasty!—locally grown produce. AGF funding also provided Howdy! Farm with a sustainable, off the grid facility that serves as their headquarters and storefront.
