1 Sustainability at Vanderbilt
2 The Three Spheres of Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY: meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
3 SEMO Team Andrea George PhD, CHMM, PMP Director Steve Gild MS, CHMM EMS Coordinator Matthew Buckley, MBA Campus Waste & Recycling Manager Chelsea Hamilton, LEED-AP Sustainability Outreach Coordinator Recycling Technicians Kyante Ridley Steven Dismukes Steve Moore Dale Jarvis (2 nd shift) Dejan Stjepanovic Assistant Recycling Coordinator
4 How does SEMO help VU become more sustainable? SEMO Activities: Directly manage campus solid waste and recycling programs Implement environmental behavior change awareness and educational programs for VU students, staff, and faculty in the areas of energy, water, procurement, operations, and transportation Produce annual greenhouse gas inventory report Respond to data inquiries and green ratings/scoring surveys Manage Environmental Advisory Committee Manages VU Green Fund process Provides general sustainability outreach through website, Facebook, newsletter, Instagram, and articles In addition to Plant Ops, SEMO collaborates with: Campus Planning and Construction VUMC Facilities and Construction Procurement Services (green purchasing initiatives and RFP/contract review) VU Printing Services/Creative Services (green printing initiatives and FSC certification) Faculty groups (Center for Teaching, VIEE, CCRN, AM Studies) Frequent requests for tours and as guest speakers in classes and for student mentoring projects Student groups (SPEAR, AEC, OGSM, VGI, VIVA, Kefi) on green projects and events Administrative offices (HR, Commencement, Peabody, etc.) Athletics (greening operations and large events on campus)
5 Why Should You Care? 1. Financial Responsibility to the University Saves money that can be spent on our core mission. Sustainable practices extend the life of buildings on campus. 2. Responsibility to Students, Faculty and Staff If they care, and the Chancellor cares, then we should care! Improve health through reduced pollution. Building and maintaining a more efficient, greener University is a positive for everyone involved. 3. Responsibility to the Environment Saving and extending the life of finite natural resources.
6 What You Can Do What YOU can do? REDUCE the amount of materials your office consumes: - Change copiers and printers to default to double-sided settings and program sleep modes. - Use file sharing software and manage documents electronically whenever possible. REUSE -Buy paper, office products, toner cartridges, and furniture with recycled content RECYCLE electronics, cardboard, paper, plastic, aluminum, and toner cartridges. CONSERVE ENERGY - Ask staff and students to turn off lights and computers when not in use. Use natural lighting - Stress importance to lab staff of closing fume hood sashes when not in use. - Moderate area temperatures to deg F in summer and deg F in winter.
7 Chancellor s Initiatives Energy & Environment The conservation of the environment and energy are the focus of a number of campaigns at the university. The Think One energy conservation education campaign educated the Vanderbilt community about individual action each person can take to help reduce power usage. Recycling of paper, plastic, and containers have been provided for commencement and athletic events. Campus Planning is committed to green building efforts and plans are currently underway to refit some older buildings on campus to make them greener. In addition to offering free rides to work on MTA busses and discounted tickets o the commuter railway, a special matching software program enables Vanderbilt employees to find carpool and vanpool ride matches. As stated at
8 SEMO facilitated formation of the Vanderbilt University Environmental Commitment Statement Vanderbilt University is a local and global community leader committed to environmental stewardship, protecting natural resources, and enhancing quality of life while maintaining academic, medical, social, and economic productivity. Through proactive education, research, and outreach, we strive to: o o o Develop and transfer knowledge, increase awareness, and promote lifelong learning about sustainability best practices for the benefit of stakeholders who comprise the Vanderbilt community (students, patients, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors), as well as the broader Nashville, state, national, and global communities; Achieve the highest standards of sustainability through a process of environmental responsibility and accountability at every level of University activity; and Consistently implement, monitor, evaluate, and improve our process.
