A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
The University has partnered with several local entities, from local to statewide, to advance sustainability in the local community and region. The following are examples of these collaborations:
The Office of Sustainability collaborates on a regular basis with Sustainable Princeton, a local nonprofit advocacy group, on initiatives relevant to Princeton Borough, Town and University. A recent example of a collaborative effort is the “Bring Your Own Bag” (BYOB) campaign in which Boro merchants have been asked to sign a waste reduction pledge, which includes reducing the number of disposable bags given away at the point of sale. Another example was a bulk purchasing agreement among the Boro, Town and University that has led to volume discounts for 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper. Dr. Weber was also on the original Steering Committee that formed Sustainable Princeton.
Sustainability Manager, Shana Weber, Ph.D., currently sits on the Executive Board of the New Jersey Higher Education Partnership for Sustainability (NJHEPS) organization.
