Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Due to our electronic procurement system (SiQuest), we are not able to track line item details on purchases using vendor blankets, Flexcards, or punch-out items. Our SiQuest system reported only non punch-out commodities.

The UCSB Campus integrated green cleaning as a standard many years ago. We were given the GREEN, CLEAN AWARD prestigious Grand Award in 2008 recognizing green cleaning practices as part of a contest sponsored by American School & University (AS&U) magazine, The Green Cleaning Network, and the Healthy Schools Campaign. The award was presented at the annual Green Clean Schools National Summit in Washington, D.C., and the campus was featured in AS&U magazine’s December edition.
