What is FAS doing to reduce its environmental impacts?

Geothermal, solar panels, hundreds of lighting retrofits, water efficient irrigation, and much much more!

Many of these projects are invisible to the naked eye or may not strike us as “green” when we see them, but they are everywhere around us. To bring them into a temporary spotlight, we created a special Green Tour slideshow that highlights some of the best resource conservation practices on our campus.

These and many other projects would have been impossible without the commitment, passion and persistence of many FAS staff, students and researchers, a few of whom are featured in the FAS Eco-Champions slideshow.

We are now part of a large, vibrant community that strives to reduce its footprint both at home and on our campus.
