For Institutions – Path to a Green Home

Path To A Green Home offers a turn-key package/program that colleges, universities, or other institutions can implement to assist their students/residents in becoming more sustainable in their apartments and lifestyles; in turn becoming more sustainable and more of a “Green Campus” themselves.

Whether you are already a “Green Campus” and are looking to expand your sustainability efforts or you are looking to become a “Green Campus” and jump start your green efforts, the Green Campus Campaign will provide value in either situation.

Our residential halls and cafeterias account for a significant portion of our greenhouse gas emissions. Although the community doesn’t directly control residential apartments in the same way as administrative or lecture buildings, the apartments and cafeterias represent the next large pocket of opportunity to dramatically reduce our campus’ emissions.

The Green Campus Campaign is a unique service because it is:

Turn-key – 6-step template to run campaign from start to finish
Collaborative – design step involves campus representatives to ensure personalized fit
Easy to Implement – if sustainability resources do not exist, Path To A Green Home can manage entire campaign
Involves Local Champions – local team necessary and beneficial to campaign success
Integrates Education and Awareness – engaging the students/residents is essential to change
Results Oriented – clear goals and data tracking ensure focused action
Low Budget – various strategies to keep budget low
Sustainable – campaign designed to continue long-term

If you can relate to the following, deploying a Green Campus Campaign may be something to consider implementing:

You’ve done a lot of work to make your primary buildings more sustainable.
You’ve done work to reduce the transportation impact on campus.
Your President (or leader) has a vision to showcase your campus as a “thought-leader” in the area of sustainability.
You understand that your students/residents represent a large opportunity to reduce your campus’ emissions, but don’t know how to engage them to act.

The Green Campus Campaign can allow you to go beyond a “me too” Green Campus and become a Green Campus thought leader – a place very appealing to live, study and work.
