In the last decade, many institutions have made crucial changes in their approach to environmental management. These changes are motivated by the realization that it is not enough to comply with environmental regulations, but that a forward-looking commitment to dramatically reducing environmental impacts in a range of areas will payoff in the long-run, both for the individual institution and for society as a whole. CU-Boulder needs a clear vision and strategy for addressing the environmental challenges and opportunities ahead.

The "Blueprint for a Green Campus" is intended to help us identify where we can improve our existing policies and practices in order to set an example of environmental responsibility as an institution. The Blueprint for a Green Campus is an environmental action plan which proposes solutions for a wide variety of issues that CU faces.
