  • Sustainability

    “U-Sustain” is a mantra and a mission at Union College in New York. As a signatory of the ACUPCC, Union College has developed a long-term plan to be carbon neutral by 2060. The college requires that all new and renovated buildings utilize LEED certification standards as a basis of design, and has also committed to using wind power for over 90 percent of the school’s energy purchases annually. The Presidential Green Grants program, open to students, staff, and faculty, awards grants up to $2,000 to campus projects that will make Union more sustainable or research projects that will make specific contributions to sustainability at the regional or national level. Recent grants were awarded to one student to design and build a rain garden atop the new Upper Class Apartment Building and to the Financial Services Department for tabletop scanners to support efforts to go paperless. U-Sustain is a campus-wide committee focused on making Union more sustainable. U-Sustain initiatives are college-wide programs focused on decreasing the impact that the campus community has on the environment. Recent programs include: the expansion of the composting program to all resident dining facilities and retail dining locations in the campus center, improving options for local, organic, vegan and vegetarian dining, energy dashboards in first year residence halls and a helmet and lock rental program to promote bike safety and security.
