  • Sustainability

    The University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire’s Centennial Plan describes stewardship of Earth as a “moral commitment.” The university completed its Climate Action Plan in 2011, and the Chancellor’s Sustainability Fellow serves as intra-campus and community liaison. UW—Eau Claire’s Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee consists of students, faculty, and staff reaching out to work with the city of Eau Claire on key biking/pedestrian/busing issues. The Campus Sustainability Network consisting of faculty, staff, students, and administrators leads projects such as a Cardboard Corral program that runs on student move-in day, in which cardboard is collected and recycled to prevent it from ending up in landfills. The focus on keeping waste out of landfills led UW—Eau Claire to an unprecedented 75 percent waste-diversion rate. The Student Senate has also been a strong leader in sustainability initiatives, specifically in formulating, passing, and then bringing to a vote by the student body a referendum to initiate a $20 per year student fee to be used for green initiatives on campus. The Green Fund has contributed to projects such as LED lighting, a bike rental program, e-waste recycling, ZimRide on campus, water bottle filling stations, a campus garden, and a film series on sustainability and food. Each month Housing and Residence Life hosts “Trash Talk Thursday” lectures, where students and faculty learn from local experts about the challenges to creating a sustainable future. UW—Eau Claire has completed gas emissions inventory thanks to student-led projects conducted through interdisciplinary classes.
