HGSE takes action to lessen its contribution to climate change
In the fall of 2006, the HGSE partnered with HGCI to reduce the environmental impacts of its campus' operations and to promote sustainable practices within its community.
The HGSE Green Program is the newest addition to the HGCI's family of educational programs and with its first GSE Earth Day event on Monday, April 23rd, the program kicked off to an official, solid and inspiring start.
This new program has three major components:
* HGSE Green Team brings together representatives from key GSE groups and departments to create GSE-wide sustainability guidelines;
* Educational Program, to raise environmental awareness and encourage GSE students, staff and faculty to integrate green actions into their daily routines;
* High Performance Building Practices to implement resource conservation measures in the GSE buildings’ operations and in its upcoming renovation projects.
