  • Sustainability

    University of California—Los Angeles is going green from its classrooms to its cafeterias. A few highlights include replacing all Styrofoam tableware with biodegradable items in the dining areas, recycling condensate water from its science labs, and hosting a series of environmentally focused speakers and forums. In 2013, UCLA announced the Grand Challenge in Environment and Sustainability—a groundbreaking interdisciplinary initiative that will bring together more than 160 faculty across different disciplines with the goal of helping the Los Angeles region achieve 100 percent sustainability in energy, water, and biodiversity by 2050. Students on the move can participate in the school’s bike share program, or use its car share and vanpools to get around. Or, if students have their own sustainable initiatives in mind, there exists a “Green Initiative Fund” which raises more than $200,000 per year for UCLA’s sustainable projects. The UCLA Action Research Teams is an academic course where students work with staff and faculty to do hands on research on campus sustainability. UCLA is home to an organic garden and an experiential learning course in which students can investigate sources of food. UCLA is committed to making all new construction and major renovation projects LEED Silver-certified or higher. This year, solar panels are being installed on Parking Structure 9 as part of electric vehicle charging research. The university is also home to the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, an intellectual community focused on environmental research, policy concerns, and outreach and education. A remarkable 66 percent of UCLA’s waste stream is currently diverted from landfills. The campus is aiming to improve that number to 100 percent by 2020.
