A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
Since 2014, Bates has had a Green Office Certification program - met at level 1, 2, or 3 by meeting certain criteria. The Green Office Certification is a tool for promoting environmental awareness at Bates. It recognizes departments who commit to sustainable policies and practices, challenging staff and faculty to reduce our collective environmental impact. We train office liaisons via the Green Office Certification program that become the face of sustainability for that department. They are educated in the fields of heating, plug loads, types of controls, and recycling practices. As an added benefit, we have found that these sustainability liaisons become conduits for information about possible opportunities, or occasionally challenges that departments are facing. They become a go-between for departments and the sustainability office. Each office is encouraged to participate in this program on campus, and currently, there are no major departments on campus that do not have at least one office that is Green Certified. The Green Certification Program asks that the sustainability liaisons conduct regular updates with their departments, so that there is a strong, ongoing message of sustainability in each office.
