  • Sustainability

    At Utah State University, sustainability initiatives are rapidly developing as “Blue Goes Green.” To date, USU has retrofitted 3.5 million square feet of space with new, energy-efficient CFLs that have helped the university realize a cost savings of 30 percent, and Housing has installed 6,500 LEDs. In addition, USU replaced its coal-fired plant with natural gas co-generation in 2002, reducing emissions by approximately 55 percent . USU’s recycling program has grown from a $50,000 operation with one vehicle for retrieval in 1990, to a full-fledged Recycling Center with 10,000 square feet of space and eleven employees. In one year, USU recycles more than 665 tons of material in twenty-three different categories. When USU studied its carbon footprint, it discovered that 47 percent of greenhouse gas emissions came from transportation-related issues. The university’s Transportation Committee immediately began developing innovative ideas that help achieve sustainability of transportation on campus. For instance, the Aggie Blue Bike program is a student-managed program that lends bikes to students free of charge for up to a semester at a time. Students also have the opportunity to receive free maintenance on bikes as well as use of bike tools. The program started with nine bikes and has grown to include a fleet of more than 300. Aggie Blue Bikes has served 1,644 students with bike rentals and 3,056 members of the campus community with tool board use for the maintenance of personal bikes.
