Green Practices

CMU's Green Practices program advances environmental sustainability efforts across all aspects of university operations and support services, while offering programming that fosters a campus culture of sustainability.

These pages provide data, information on campus sustainability accomplishments, ways to get involved, and resources to help you make sustainable choices around campus.  

Resources and opportunities for students are sumarized in this handout: Sustainability Resource Guide [pdf].

View the Green Guide to CMU [pdf] presentations for tips on living more sustainably in campus residences.
