If you are looking for other campus organizations with a sustainability mandate, please check out the following:

• The UBC Campus Sustainability Office In 1997, UBC became the country’s first university to implement a sustainable development policy. One year later, UBC opened Canada’s first Campus Sustainability Office. Today, in areas ranging from academia to waste reduction, thousands of campus community members are taking part in UBC’s innovative sustainability initiatives.
• UBC SEEDS In 2001, UBC launched Canada’s first program bringing together students, faculty and staff to address sustainability issues. SEEDS (social, Ecological, Economic Development Studies) projects range from studying wastewater treatment alternatives to designing new waste bins to help custodial staff avoid injuries. Any staff member with an interest in collaboration, faculty who wish to contribute, or students interested in gaining real-world experience can apply to become part of this program.
