The university has established both a sustainability policy and a sustainability plan.
Recycling
Traditional materials recycled on campus include aluminum and paper.
Dining
The “Eat Local” campaign focuses on purchasing locally grown and organic foods from the Georgia area.
Dining halls compost pre-consumer food scraps.
Excess food is donated to a food bank.
The dining halls have removed trays to save water and energy and reduce food waste.
Student Involvement
The Go Green student group works to increase sustainability awareness on campus.
Students in the Living Green housing community participate in programs and activities that reduce their environmental impact, and they educate the campus about sustainability.
