  • Sustainability

    The University of Maryland—College Park, located in the D.C. metro area, has signed the ACUPCC, and published its Climate Action Plan. The Sustainability Studies minor is the school’s most popular minor. UMD works to integrate sustainability across the university curriculum, and the school has been recognized as a leader in the green movement by such organizations as the Maryland Green Registry, Climate Culture and Sierra Magazine and the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education with a STARS Gold rating. The University Sustainability Council is in place to advise the president, the Office of Sustainability, and the campus community about issues related to the integration of sustainability into campus operations. UMD Dining Services has been a heavy participant in campus sustainability, leading the way with their expanding rooftop gardens, a sustainable food truck, a campus vegetable farm, and a campus food pantry. The student-led Food Recovery Network helps to salvage and donate unused leftovers. Many other green initiatives have been put into place across campus, including: a commitment to LEED Silver for new buildings; energy-conserving renovations; green roofs; an impressive storm water management system; low-flow faucets, toilets, and showerheads in dorms; water- and energy-efficient dishwashers used by dining services; a composting program; discontinued use of Styrofoam containers in favor of biodegradable ones; and use of water-conserving grass on the university’s golf course. Recycling is also a success story at UMD: The campus recycling rate has more than tripled since 2004. For students looking for a career in the green sector, there is the sustainability studies minor and the Career Center hosts an annual Green Jobs Fair to help students incorporate sustainability into their career plans.
