Green Office
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder is pleased to offer a campus sustainability program for faculty and staff. The educational program integrates many of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥â€™s campus sustainability initiatives, including transportation, purchasing, recycling and energy. The program has environmental and financial impacts, with very little time commitment. The ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Environmental Center coordinates the Green Office program. Employees can choose between a sustainability ambassador and a sustainability liaison role to engage with the program.
