- Recommending appropriate policies for sustainability
- Assisting with identifying suitable projects for sustainable initiatives
- Assisting with completing a sustainability audit of the university
- Recommending appropriate goals
- Assisting with preparing an annual report on our achievements
Take the Pledge!
We can all make a difference. Working together, our efforts and support for university initiatives, Rutgers will be a more sustainable University.
- This pledge identifies small changes that make a big impact to support sustainability.
- Some ideas you may already practice and some may be new. Share with your friends!
