From being the first university to establish a recycling program, to being the first university to rank “gold” through the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS), CU-Boulder has been a leader in climate and energy research, interdisciplinary environmental studies programs and in engaging in “green” practices on campus for more than half a century. http://www.colorado.edu/sustainability We invite you to be a part of the CU community and participate in one or more of these sustainable practices:
