The Sustainable Campus
To be a sustainable campus, to act in a sustainable manner, means to manage and allocate resources in a sustainable fashion, to make smart decisions and take actions today that will be in the best long-term interest of the UC Davis campus as a whole. That means meeting the campus’s present needs while enhancing its environment, all the time keeping a watchful eye on how today’s decisions and actions will affect tomorrow’s generations.
UC Davis is on the right path toward sustainability. Consider the innovative, sustainable food service techniques at Segundo Dining Hall, the UC Davis 100 Year tree plan and the recent efforts to transform the campus’s messy olive trees from a waste product to a marketable product – gourmet olive oil.
