Green Guide

Contents

I would like to welcome all students to the first edition of the Guide to Green Living at Plymouth State University, published by the Office of Environmental Sustainability. Brittany Phelps ’10 worked very hard pulling all of this material together, along with our environmental fellows. Special thanks to Janet Capaul for editing and layout. We are planning to continue to work to keep this material timely and to publish updates on an ongoing basis. If you have additions or questions, please contact us or stop by EcoHouse.

Plymouth State University is proud of our leadership in environmental conservation and sustainability. Our academic programs, student groups, and building operation and maintenance practices reflect our commitment to the environment. We have a long road in front of us to reach our goal of carbon neutrality. Although I am confident that we will reach this goal, everyone needs to pitch in and be part of the solution. Please stop in at EcoHouse or contact us to see how you can contribute.
