  • Sustainability

    UC Irvine adopted a policy on Sustainable Practices back in 2004 in order to promote environmentally conscious construction and fixtures on campus. After signing the ACUPCC, the school completed a greenhouse gas emissions inventory and began pinpointing where to focus its environmental efforts. UC Irvine has determined that all new construction on campus must seek LEED Silver at a minimum. In fact, eight buildings on campus have achieved LEED Gold and eleven have achieved LEED Platinum. UC Irvine has installed a 1.2-megawatt DC solar power system, which is “expected to produce more than 24 million kilowatt hours (equivalent to offsetting 25.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide) over twenty years.” UC Irvine is also setting the example when it comes to alternative transportation. Through its initiatives, the campus reduces more than 43.6 million vehicle miles and 14,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually. Even UC Irvine’s Dining Services is working to combat wastefulness. Even UC Irvine’s Dining Services is working to combat wastefulness. A study was conducted showing trays caused 430 pounds of food waste per day. By eliminating trays, waste was reduced by 180 pounds in 2008. Through further education of students and employees, waste was reduced an additional 70 pounds in 2009. Since then, the total number of residents and meals served have increased dramatically. Waste per day at the dining commons is 237 pounds, but waste per person has continued to decrease significantly to 1.41 oz./person per meal.
