Green is Gold

 

Resources

The Green is Gold campaign is a campus-wide initiative to save energy and reduce energy costs. Teammates from a location on campus (e.g., a department) work together to implement energy saving measures in their building.

The campaign will be divided into monthly challenges. Teams will be encouraged to focus on a particular area of resource conservation each month. The goal of the monthly format is to make Green is Gold easier for all staff members to participate by making the challenges more manageable. If you’d like to participate, you can register your team online and fill out the online score sheet. The Excel score sheet is still available as well.

Rewards for conservation efforts

(as of 9/18/09)

Teams will be named on the Green is Gold website for participating.

A monthly winner will be named for earning the most points in each month’s category. Monthly winners will receive a prize related to that month's challenge.

Points should be earned for new initiatives only; if you have been practicing an action on the score sheet in the past, or have already counted points for an item in a past Green is Gold competition, we challenge you to only count points for new actions.

Teams with 125 points will be awarded Green is Gold certification.

The next award recognition will take place during the Earth Day Celebration on April 20, 2011.
