A brief description of how sustainability is included in new employee orientation:

Staff Employee Orientation: New U-M staff are given a reusable water bottle to encourage reducing bottled water consumption. They also watch a video that touches on energy, food, waste, water, and community aspects of sustainability. They also receive a campus sustainability guide. New Faculty Orientation: New faculty have the opportunity to pick up a reusable water bottle and campus sustainability guide at their orientation. The sustainability guide includes detailed information on U-M's goals related to climate action, waster prevention, healthy environments and community awareness. The guide also mentions local restaurants with sustainable food practices, re-use stores, and bike shops.
