  • Sustainability

    UT Austin boasts a strong record when it comes to going green. A solid 75 percent of campus buildings feature designated recycling areas and the university has an overall waste-diversion rate of 51 percent. Moreover, in participation with the Clinton Global Climate Initiative, UT Austin has made a firm promise in 2009 that all new construction will achieve LEED Silver certification. Beginning in July 2012, Austin started to compost animal bedding. The on-campus housing and food services are some of the greenest in the business, diverting over 240 tons of food waste to a local compost business and offering a popular Eco-to-Go container reuse program. UT Austin has also enacted the Energy and Water Conservation Program to promote energy conservation awareness around campus. Through Energy and Water Conservation Program and utility investments, the university has implemented a number of measures which have contributed to a 12.4 percent energy reduction, with 2009 being the baseline year. Academically, students can also jump on the environmental bandwagon. Austin offers a bachelor’s degree in environmental science. Impressively, there are an additional forty-one specializations, concentrations and degree plans that are connected to sustainability. Further, UT Austin offers a graduate portfolio program in sustainability along with a MSSD in sustainable design. Of course, even the students here who fall outside of these academic disciplines understand the importance of taking environmental action. To that end, they agreed (via referendum approved by 71 percent of students) to pay a green fee. The fee, which comes to $506,000 annually, is then allocated by a student majority committee.
