Sustainability at Dartmouth Makes the Grade

In the College Sustainability Report Card issued on January 24, 2007, Dartmouth received the highest overall grade given, an A- along with Harvard, Stanford, and Williams. The Sustainable Endowments Institute researched the policies and programs of the 100 institutions with the largest endowments totaling over $258 billion. (USA TODAY Article) Projects of the Dartmouth Sustainability Initiative mentioned in this report card include:

There's never been a better time to join hundreds of other students, faculty, and staff in working to notch that A- up to an A.  The Dartmouth Sustainability Initiative was launched to turn our existing momentum into headline-making achievements.
Our goals:

  • Maximize Dartmouth's efficient use of natural resources on campus.
  • Establish practices, technologies, and behaviors that can be sustained without damaging the environment.
  • Strengthen our protection and restoration of the environment.
  • Serve as a sustainability model for campuses across the country.

This initiative recognizes that successful sustainability is having the most fun at the lowest impact.
