我们是如何做到的
我们在可持续发展方面的工作
多亏了积极参与的学生团体, the dedicated efforts of full-time sustainability staff, 和 the many staff members who have committed to making sustainability part of their work, DU has built a variety of initiatives to bring our campus closer to its 2025 和 2050 sustainability goals. 这样做的时候, we've integrated environmental responsibility into virtually every facet of operations here at the University.
From retrofitting old buildings with green technology 和 building energy-efficient new ones to redefining how we process trash 和 food waste, we've developed a long-term strategy that aims to reduce our environmental footprint 和 elevate the communities most impacted by unsustainable practices 和 systems.
We've accomplished a great deal, but sustainability is a process, not a destination. 与我们的学生一起, 教师, 员工和我们称之为家的地区, we aim to make DU a leader in the environmental revolution.
45% reduction in carbon emissions from 2007 levels
40% 灌溉用水减少
70% diversion rate of waste from traditional l和fills
2050 我们的目标是到2050年实现碳中和.
水 & 能源
We've developed aggressive plans for reducing our energy usage 和 water consumption, working closely with our facilities staff to improve efficiency 和 educate our students 和 the community about sustainable best practices.
食物 & 浪费
在我们校园花园之间, the Sustainable 食物 Policy 和 our community's ongoing efforts to increase the amount of waste that is either composted or recycled, we're leading the way in changing how our community thinks about food 和 trash.
旅行 & 流动性
Our campus is seamlessly integrated into the Denver area with thoughtful, accessible transportation options like the light rail 和 a thriving community of cyclists. We empower the DU community to take advantage of their RTD EcoPass or Student Pass, which provide unlimited light rail 和 bus service, while always working to increase mobility options so that it's easier 和 more convenient to get where you need to go without a car.
