A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
The Office of Sustainability offers a workshop in Sustainable Office Practices to interested departments. This workshop focuses on practical tools that save money, conserve energy, and create a more sustainable office environment, including:
•How to set computer and printing defaults to maximize efficiency
•How to cater an environmentally friendly lunch and save money
•How to create online forms that save time and reduce paper use
•How to use tele-conferencing software to reduce travel costs
The Office of Sustainability also provides a downloadable form “Five Ways to Create a Sustainable Office” and a “Green Guide to Sustainable Office Practices.” Guidance and help for sustainable event planning is also offered by the Office of Sustainability. Making sustainable choices for advertising material, food, and location can be difficult especially if there are a large amount of people attending, but we offer different ways to green those events. We also provide advice for both waste reduction and recycling at events on campus.
