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:

• The Sustainability Report (.pdf)
• Sustainable Dining
• Carbon Inventory (.pdf)
• Solar Thermal Analysis (.pdf) and Solar Building Matrix (.pdf)

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.
