  • Sustainability

    The emphasis is on the “living” in “living and learning green” at The University of Memphis. UM’s new dorm, like most new construction on campus, achieved LEED Silver and is one of the first such public buildings in Tennessee. The university’s newly formed Sustainability Committee has established a Green Campus Initiative, which impacts everything from the school curriculum to campus design. And boy, have they been busy. UM’s Center for Biofuel Energy and Sustainable Technologies hosted the school’s third annual Tiger Blue Goes Green Day, highlighting the numerous eco-friendly initiatives in development by the university and the surrounding community. The center’s bio-diesel production unit is working to convert recycled cooking oil from the school’s dining facilities into bio-diesel fuel for use in university vehicles and generators. Recently, the university of Memphis partnered with Apple to collect 155 tons of old electronic equipment during a citywide Electronics Recycling Day in an effort to keep the toxic materials commonly used in producing computers from seeping from landfills into groundwater. Additionally, the university has a total of thirty-six electric vehicles for campus employees slashing the cost per mile by 95 percent as compared to traditional gasoline vehicles. As if that weren’t enough, student groups like TIGUrS (Tigers Initiative for Gardens in Urban Settings) and numerous volunteers have been involved with creating community gardens on campus. UM’s efforts, thanks to the Physical Plant and Honors Club, are also reaching out to the community with several McKellar Lake cleanups throughout the year. Students looking to secure a green job have it easy thanks to the “Tiger Blue Goes Green” green jobs fair held on campus each year.
