Link of the Month

Each month we highlight an online mailing list or website. Frequently the link is associated with UNT.

Office of Sustainability

The new Office of Sustainability, created in early 2009, has a website (still under construction), and big plans. As noted on the website, "UNT President Gretchen Bataille signed the American College and University President’s Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) in January 2008. The ACUPCC requires UNT to:

Complete a greenhouse gas emissions inventory.

Within two years, set a target date and interim milestone for becoming climate neutral.

Take immediate steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by choosing from a list of short term actions.

Integrating sustainability into the curriculum and make it part of the educational experience.

Making the action plan, inventory and progress reports publicly available."
