  • Compostable paper products in all bathroom & dining facilities
  • Technology supports which reduce paper use
  • Native and other water saving landscape
  • Continued compositing in all food services and dining halls
  • Reducing AS and campus waste stream in other ways that take advantage of all available emerging sustainable technologies and options.
