Sustainability
In fall 2006, the first University Committee on Sustainability was formed at UNC Greensboro and consists of over 40 voluntary members, reflecting a diverse and widespread interest on campus. In addition, planning for a more comprehensive “Center for Sustainability” has been approved and is now underway. Although UNCG has no LEED-certified buildings, two members of the Facilities Design & Construction team are now LEED accredited and will be able to help steer future projects in a more sustainable direction. Within the university’s dining system, “Nature's Healthy Corner,” a small area of the cafeteria, offers some locally grown and organic options, and fryer oil is recycled to create biodiesel. On the College Sustainability Report Card 2009, UNCG received an overall grade of “C” from the publisher, the Sustainable Endowments Institute.
