What We’re Doing
American College and Universities Presidential Climate Commitment
In 2007, Saint John’s University became a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). As part of our commitment to ACUPCC, we’ve created a climate action plan that lays out the path to carbon neutrality. By conserving energy, investing in efficiency and conservation, changing fuels, investing in alternative energy and carbon offsets, we'll make it there by 2035.
Sustainability Revolving Loan Fund
Saint John’s has set aside $100,000 for zero-interest loans to projects with cost savings (Revolving Loan Fund). The cost savings will pay back the loan until 120% of the loan is paid off. As the fund grows, more and larger projects can be initiated. A committee of faculty, staff, administration, and students govern the fund.
Sustainability Forums
The Sustainability Forum, sponsored by the Office of Sustainability, is a public venue for the larger CSB/SJU communities to learn, ask questions, get answers and get involved with sustainability-related topics on campus. This year such topics as "Energy", "Recycling", "Local Food", and "Simple Living" have been presented.
Tracking and Monitoring
Tracking and monitoring behaviors, resource usage, and system outputs are critical aspects in helping make Saint John’s a more sustainable campus.
Energy Challenge
The Campus Energy Challenge is a month long conservation competition. Student housing buildings compete to achieve the greatest percentage reduction in energy use by the end of the month.
Recyclemania
Recyclemania is a competition among over 600 colleges and universities to see who can recycle the most and waste the least. Over the 8-week period, schools report recycling and trash data, and are then ranked according to largest amount of recyclables collected, least amount of trash per capita, and the highest recycling rate.
