Green Teams are groups of faculty, staff, and students volunteering to engage and educate their peers to help their college, department, building, etc. operate in a more efficient, innovative, and healthy way. Typically, Green Teams focus on making their operations more sustainable through initiatives unique to their departments and/or the easy to follow Green Paws Program. If you are interested in joining an existing Green Team or forming a new one, contact EMS Sustainability Coordinator Spencer Belnap.
NEW! EMS Sustainable Events Guide
The college takes great pride in stewarding sustainable practices and policies. By approaching event planning with sustainability in mind, we can collectively reduce impact on the environment every time we come together as groups. Green Teams have created a guide that serves as a motivational tool and offers specific details to consider when planning events. These are not college policies currently but are strong suggestions and important considerations.
