Green Office ambassadors

Since May of this year, the CTE has been participating in the Green Office program, a campus pilot program that focuses on promoting sustainable methods within departments across campus. Based on a point system, each department earns points by following specific sustainable actions outlined in a scorecard format, and, depending on the number of points collected, can receive a Bronze, Silver, or Gold certification. Such actions as collecting compost for the Campus Compost program, using a “good on one side” reusable printing paper bin, and purchasing fair trade coffee for workshops or staff meetings, allow department staff to actively participate in the program. Certificates were presented at the Eco-Summit on July 7, 2016, to Green Office ambassadors for participating departments, including Propel Centre for Population Health Impact, the Library, and the Dean’s Offices of the Arts, Environment, and Engineering faculties.
