Building a more sustainable campus is a priority for students, faculty and staff. In support of this movement, MSU’s Sustainability department is looking for the Spartan community to examine the role they play in reducing resources used on campus through participation in the Spartan Green Certification program. The Spartan Green Certification is an online self-assessment program that educates, assists and recognizes units and offices taking steps towards energy efficiency and conservation, waste reduction and recycling, water conservation and sustainable purchasing practices.

Spartan Green Certified Events will receive a certificate and seal so they can be marketed as green events, which will let event attendees know about the group’s commitment to sustainability.

The application period is now open, and departments have until Friday, March 3, 2017 to apply for certification. For full program details and instructions for applying, visit the Spartan Green Certification page.
