There are number of reasons to embrace sustainable business practices on your campus, for our campus, it is simply the right thing to do ! Our students are the driving force for change as they challenge us to be leaders in the local foods movement as well as confront climate change and environmental stewardship issues. There are many ways to implement sustainable business practices and each campus plan is unique. We started our Sustainable Future Initiatives with the UM Farm to College Program in 2003. Today, I will share with you our journeys in hopes that you will be inspired to become a sustainable business practices leader on your campus.
