Sustainability Subcommittee STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our Committee is made up of engaged students dedicated to furthering environmentally sustainable practices and policies on campus and throughout the community.

GOALS

To work with the community to strengthen Vermont Law and Graduate School’s commitment to conserving energy, reducing waste, encouraging public transport, and preserving natural resources.

ANNUAL PROJECTS

  • COLLABORATION GARDEN
  • COMPOSTING 
  • OPERATION NIGHTHAWK 
  • PLASTIC FREE INITIATIVE 

PAST ACTIVITY

Some of the programs the subcommittee has successfully implemented include the following:

  • Creation of several large, well-marked receptacles for easier recycling across campus. A Technotrash, or e-waste recycling program, has also been implemented.
  • Establishment of a commuter route between Montpelier and the law school using Stagecoach Transportation Service’s local shuttle bus.
  • Installation of a solar-powered charging station for electric cars.
  • Establishment of a composting program designed to deal with much of the waste generated on campus, including all cafeteria food waste.
  • Providing educational materials on green practices and resources to incoming students each fall via a reusable cloth tote bag, and maintaining a strong presence during the week-long Earth Day festivities each spring.
