UCLA has a professional development program (PDP) where staff work on projects in teams. There have been multiple teams that have focused on sustainability, one team produced a Staff and Faculty Sustainability Handbook that is now available online as a resource for all UCLA staff. Another team did research on recycling, and another team examined the potential of satellite offices in reducing GHG emissions and saving resources. A current team is evaluating what's required to take the university paperless.
Through Staff Assembly, UCLA offers Learn at Lunch seminars on sustainability topics including recycling and office sustainability; these seminars are open to all staff.
Finally - the sustainability team provides training on sustainability, green events, green office and how to become zero waste to offices, departments and campus organizations.
