Greener Living Program

The vision of the Greener Living Program is to instill an ethic of sustainability throughout the Evergreen State College campus community. Situated principally within Residential and Dining Services, the Greener Living Program provides training and support for students to live sustainably, and assume student leadership positions.

The Program organizes optional workshops and events, engages with students in Sustainability-Themed Housing, designs and distributes educational materials throughout the halls, and a sustainability welcome package. The multifaceted focus includes compost education and materials, recycling centers, community gardens, low-flow shower heads and sink aerators. Internships are available to students wishing to develop campus sustainability related projects.

Engaging the broader campus community, the Greener Living Program offers a Sustainability Pledge and a Greener Living Guide online. Though targeted to enhancing our residents’ college experience, many of the opportunities extend to non-residents as well.
