Focused on being green
Sustainability is top-of-mind for students, faculty, staff and administrators at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI). It's so important that it’s one of CSUCI's strategic goals. We even appointed a Sustainability Task Force that’s focused on:
- Building design—we look at conservation first and recycling existing materials
- Environmental education—we offer sustainability-focused courses and programs
- Recycling awareness—we recycle about 50% of our waste and sponsor events like Free Electronics Recycling Day
- Strategic energy management—we focus on reducing solid waste and electric and water consumption, and measure our efforts through AASHE Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System™ (STARS) program (In fact, CSUCI’s a charter participant.)
- Transportation—we offer bicycle sharing and we were one of the first West Coast universities to partner with Zipcar, helping to take personally-owned vehicles off the road
