  • Sustainability

    As you would expect of a university surrounded by one of the nation’s greatest forests, the University of Washington (UW) takes sustainability seriously and promotes ecologically sound practices. Its sustainability goals involve reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, measuring and reporting activities, and increasing interdisciplinary collaboration to foster sustainability in research and curriculum. The number of LEED-certified buildings on campus has more than doubled since 2010, with thirteen more in the works. The most recent, the Husky Union Building (HUB), features water use reduction, chemical and pollutant control, optimized energy performance, and reducing heat island effects. Recycling and composting is a way of life at the UW. Its comprehensive waste reduction program provides education, infrastructure and services to minimize waste and maximize reuse. Through these efforts, the UW currently diverts 61 percent of its total waste away from landfills toward organizations that give materials a second life. To reduce utility costs and increase energy efficiency, UW has installed solar panels, retrofit fixtures and replaced 1,800 inefficient toilets. Savings include an estimated 50 million gallons of water annually, avoided costs of nearly $50 million over ten years from all energy conservation efforts. Fifty-three percent of food served on campus is organic, local or fair trade. The university also has a fleet of more than 400 alternative-fuel vehicles. The four-part Climate of Change video series (https://green.uw.edu/climate-of-change) explores the University of Washington's sustainability efforts in the areas of research, teaching, co-curricular programs, and campus operations. Students are the heart of sustainability on campus. The UW encourages student engagement in sustainability through its Climate Action Plan, outreach efforts, curriculum, research grants, internships and more. Students participate in sustainability-related projects, events, clubs, and even initiated a student fee, called the Campus Sustainability Fund, that goes toward student-led campus projects with environmental impact. In 2013, the UW established the Green Seed Fund, which provides grants for faculty, students and staff research projects that contribute to campus sustainability goals. The UW maintains a culture of sustainability so that students learn by example and actively contribute to global change, in college and beyond.
