Green Campus Initiatives at CSU, Chico
CSU, Chico is an environmental leader within the CSU system. Three programs received best-practices commendations at UC Santa Barbara’s June 2006 sustainability conference: The Diversion Excursion Program, which diverts waste from landfills when students move out of dorms; the new Associated Students sustainability program funded by a fee increase sponsored by student leaders; and the 98 percent reuse and waste diversion in the demolition of a building to make way for the new Student Activities Center.
Here is a sample of some of the programs and practices in the area of sustainability:
- The first LEED gold certified building in the CSU.
- A student-sponsored conference on sustainability in 2005; cosponsored with the University in 2006.
- One of the first green residence halls.
- The Jack Rawlins’ Professor of Environmental Literacy Chair, currently held by Jim Pushnik.
