Bowdoin College's Sustainability Office works within Facilities Management to help "green" the Bowdoin campus. Concentrating on issues such as waste reduction, recycling, environmentally preferable purchasing, energy conservation, and alternative transportation, we hope to reduce Bowdoin's impact on the environment.

In creating the position of Coordinator for a Sustainable Bowdoin, the college's Senior Staff recognized that the concept of "sustainability" is important to the College. It will become more so in the years ahead as we begin to understand the effects of global warming, limited natural resources, and the value to the College of good stewardship.

We work with faculty, staff and students from all parts of campus to implement our vision of a sustainable Bowdoin. Our web page provides information about specific projects that are happening on campus, and how you can get involved.
