  • Sustainability

    The University of Montana is located in Missoula, a city nearly surrounded by a national forest, so it makes sense that conservation is a way of life. There are several student run environmental organizations on campus, including Climate Action Now and Forum for Living with Appropriate Technology (FLAT), which maintains an experiential learning home to demonstrate the practicality of sustainable living. UM also features the Green Thread, a unique faculty workshop aimed at infusing sustainability across the curriculum, and a student funded and managed project called the Kless Revolving Energy Loan Fund (KRELF), a campus-wide fund designed to pay for energy saving and waste reduction projects. The environmental studies department and the College of Forestry and Conservation offer students a variety of academic tracks and advanced research opportunities. UM’s Climate Action Plan is in the process of implementation through energy conservation projects across campus such as the Use Your Power Wisely campaign to encourage behavior change. The Climate Action Plan promises climate neutrality by 2020. There is also a campaign underway to promote tap water and reusable water bottles in lieu of bottled water; to support this effort, UM tests its water quality regularly and makes the results publicly available. Through a collaboration between dining services and several graduate students, the university formed the Farm to College program, dedicated to buying more food locally to feed the campus community and supporting the local economy and Montana’s farming heritage.
