  • Sustainability

    University of Massachusetts Dartmouth believes that “sustainability is the most pressing and far-reaching paradigm of the new millennium.” The university’s Sustainability Initiative functions as a catalyst, “taking a leadership role in transforming academic and practical training, engaging in the community to further sustainability efforts, sponsoring sustainability efforts at the university and redeveloping [the] region for a sustainable future.” Responsibility and Renewal, besides being two of the principles UMass Dartmouth endorses, is a recently finished 100-plus-page sustainability assessment and carbon reduction plan that serves as a link between all levels of those who run the university, summarizing the common goal of finding “greener pathways forward.” They’ve certainly seen results: achieved a 20 percent carbon emission reduction since 2008, campus witnessed the renovation and expansion of the LEED Silver Carney Library, and the installation of a wind turbine; 95 percent of cleaning products are Green Seal certified; and 98 percent of managed campus grounds are maintained organically. One student group, the Green Navigators, helps run a Farmer’s Market on campus and has campaigned for a campus bike path. UMass Dartmouth definitely doesn’t let its fortunate setting—it’s home to one of the largest contiguous forests in the area—go to waste. The university’s Living Classroom project promotes healthy management of the forest, while the woodland doubles as a sanctuary for educational walks and workshops for students and local residents of all ages. UMass Dartmouth was chosen as one of 100 locations nationally to test out green landscape maintenance standards.
