The Ģ����Ƶ’s Seattle campus saved more than 5 tons of food from being thrown away in 2020, preventing unnecessary waste and helping feed people in the community who struggle with food security.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized the achievement by selecting the Ģ����Ƶ for a in the 2021 Food Recovery Challenge. The award is given to select institutions and businesses that voluntarily set data-driven goals, implement targeted strategies to reduce wasted food in their operations, and then report the results to the EPA. The Ģ����Ƶ is recognized as a national leader for its deep commitment to sustainability on its campuses and in the community. Ģ����Ƶ’s Seattle campus recovered 10,720 pounds of food in 2020 that would have otherwise been wasted, a 13% increase over 2019 and a 26% increase from 2018.

The success comes from the Ģ����Ƶ’s food recovery efforts across dining facilities, the the Ģ����Ƶ Food Pantry, and its partnership with . works with local food banks, including the one on campus, to divert excess food purchased or overproduced at dining facilities.

The programs also support the Ģ����Ƶ’s waste reduction goal under the . Working to minimize food waste has been a major part of the efforts toward of reducing the amount of waste generated 10 percent by 2025.

The Sustainability Action Plan was adopted on July 1, 2020, and set out 10 measurable targets to be achieved over a five-year span. The Ģ����Ƶ annually evaluates progress toward these targets and determines the actions required over the upcoming year to respond to tri-campus needs.

This spring marked the first time the Ģ����Ƶ initiated the process of updating the annual actions. Faculty, students and staff from all three campuses joined employees working on the actions to determine the proper efforts for the upcoming year.

“One of the guiding principles of the Sustainability Action Plan is to center equity and inclusion in our work,” said Ģ����Ƶ Sustainability Director Claudia Frere-Anderson. “We strived to connect with a broad range of communities and stakeholders across our campuses while providing meaningful ways for everyone on campus to engage.”

The targets under the Sustainability Action Plan include areas relating to energy, transportation, food, waste, academic research, purchasing and more. For each of the 10 targets, teams identified several actions for this year. A survey, open to all members of the Ģ����Ƶ community, was completed in winter quarter and informed the decision-making process.

Actions include efforts to compile catalogs of course offerings and research projects related to sustainability, working toward creating a student sustainability resource center, exploring offsets for professional travel, electrifying the campus fleet, reducing single-use items and others.

“We are excited to launch a new action this year for reducing waste on our campus to reduce single-use disposable items. The new action was identified as a key waste prevention goal from the Sustainability Action Plan survey. Campus community feedback was a key motivator for adding this target, which furthers our work to avoid landfill waste and reduce carbon emissions,” said Liz Gignilliat, manager of Ģ����Ƶ Recycling.

Many of the teams working on the Plan actions this past year had to adjust due to the unexpected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sustainability Action Plan and actions for the first year were largely drafted before the pandemic response. The shift to primarily virtual instruction and work at the Ģ����Ƶ also made it difficult to measure progress in areas where the reduced population on campus affected data, such as reduced energy use and travel.

“I am proud of how our teams working on sustainability efforts responded and adapted to the challenges of this past year,” Ģ����Ƶ Facilities Vice President Lou Cariello said. “We have continued our progress, and our teams have been finding innovative ways to ensure we build on what we have learned over this year to further advance sustainability.”

One target impacted by the pandemic was the goal to reduce professional air travel. This past year, such travel was down more than 60% due to restrictions. This upcoming year, the Ģ����Ƶ will build on the lessons learned from the past year, making information about professional travel more accessible to departments, developing suggested policies for encouraging videoconferencing and creating offset programs.

“Professional air travel is a key sustainability issue in an academic context because it touches so many different individuals in quite varied ways. It is deeply intertwined with core academic values and behaviors, including collegiality, communication and consensus-building,” said Gary Handwerk, director of the Ģ����Ƶ Program on the Environment and professor in the Department of English. “Failing to address its impact, moreover, could easily undo much of the progress we are making in other areas. We can’t afford to leave it off to the side.”

The full Sustainability Action Plan document is available on the plan website . Data and metrics on the Ģ����Ƶ’s sustainability efforts and status updates are posted to the on the Ģ����Ƶ Sustainability site.

The Ģ����Ƶ has finalized its new Sustainability Action Plan, which will guide the university’s efforts during the next five years.

�ճ���� includes five guiding principles and 10 measurable targets along with annual actions to reach those targets. Each year, the Ģ����Ƶ will evaluate the immediate actions needed over the next fiscal year to respond to changing realities and needs across our campuses.

The Sustainability Action Plan represents the work of a cross-university planning team, with Ģ����Ƶ Facilities Vice President Lou Cariello as the plan’s executive sponsor.

“This Sustainability Action Plan establishes a framework to align the many sustainability actions of our staff, faculty and students,” Cariello said. “The targeted actions, along with measurable targets, provide a means for us to track our progress and ensure we are aligning the many ongoing stewardship actions to support the health of our planet, for the quality of our lives and for future generations.”

The Sustainability Action Plan spans all three Ģ����Ƶ campuses. The targets go beyond campus operations to include student experience, academic research and equity to address the many aspects of sustainability. The planning team considered equity and financial feasibility when drafting the targets and actions. Input from across the Ģ����Ƶ community was gathered through online surveys, direct outreach and events throughout the year.

An initial draft of the five-year Sustainability Strategy and proposed actions for the upcoming fiscal year was released on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22. This final Sustainability Action Plan reflects updates based on community input and revisions by the planning team.

The plan’s guiding principles are: ensure students achieve sustainability literacy; choose our research conscientiously; keep equity and inclusion at the center; use resources responsibly; and decarbonize.

�ճ����plan’s 10 measurable targets all work toward these principles, with actions to take toward those targets reviewed annually. Responsible parties across the Ģ����Ƶ will provide the Plan’s Executive Committee ���Ի���the Environmental Stewardship Committee with updates on the status of the actions.

“Focusing on equity and inclusion is the central theme for implementing the Sustainability Action Plan this first year,” Ģ����Ƶ Sustainability Director Claudia Frere-Anderson said. “Student voices ���Ի���diverse viewpoints from our campuses are paramount to advancing the University’s sustainability goals in an equitable manner.

The Ģ����Ƶ today released the draft of a new that will guide university actions across a broad spectrum of sustainability policy for the next five years.

The strategy, which builds upon the , includes five guiding principles and 10 measurable targets, along with annual actions to reach those targets. The draft was published on April 22, the 50^th anniversary of the first Earth Day, to support the Ģ����Ƶ’s existing sustainability work while setting goals for specific future efforts. The Sustainability Strategy represents the work of a cross-university planning team. Ģ����Ƶ Facilities Vice President Lou Cariello is the plan’s executive sponsor.

“We know that many Ģ����Ƶ staff, faculty and students are engaged in activities every day to advance sustainability initiatives across all of our campuses,” Cariello said. “This plan continues that work and sets goals and specific, targeted actions to ensure we align our collective efforts to optimize our impact for a bright future.”

The Sustainability Strategy spans all three Ģ����Ƶ campuses. The targets go beyond campus operations to include student experience, academic research and equity in recognition of the many aspects of sustainability. The planning team worked to consider equity and financial feasibility when drafting the targets and actions. Input from across the Ģ����Ƶ community was gathered throughout the fall and winter quarters through online surveys, direct outreach and events.

The plan’s guiding principles are: Ensure students achieve sustainability literacy; choose our research conscientiously; keep equity and inclusion at the center; use resources responsibly; and decarbonize. The 10 measurable targets all work toward at least one of these principles.

This plan is intended to be responsive to evolving campus needs. Every year under this Sustainability Strategy, the Ģ����Ƶ will evaluate the immediate actions needed over the next fiscal year in order to respond to changing realities and needs at our campuses.

“Sustainability is a shared value across the Ģ����Ƶ, and this plan will allow all our campuses to better coordinate our actions to reach these targets,” said Claudia Frere-Anderson, director of Ģ����Ƶ Sustainability. “The Sustainability Strategy continues the progress from our Climate Action Plan with a broad approach to include multiple aspects of campus operations, student learning and experiences, academic research, financial feasibility and inclusion in the planning process each year.”

Over the next few months, the actions for the upcoming fiscal year will be finalized. All students, faculty and staff across the Ģ����Ƶ are invited to provide their input on the best ways to reach the plan’s targets, as well as what might be missing from this Sustainability Strategy. The plan website at has an open survey to provide feedback, or you can email sustainabilityplan@uw.edu. Other opportunities to engage with the plan will be posted on the website as well.

The project is a sizeable challenge: Students will pour over census and public health data, interview residents, photograph neighborhoods and summarize their findings in a report. The end result will help officials in Auburn, Washington, know how to best engage and communicate with the culturally diverse populations in the city.

The neighborhoods endeavor is one of 10 initial projects in the Ģ����Ƶ’s inaugural program, which to advance the city’s goals for livability and sustainability. The idea is to give students real-world experiences while addressing current needs identified by city leaders.

The program will formally celebrate the start of its first year at 10 a.m. Oct. 6 at wǝɫǝbʔaltxʷ – Intellectual House on the Ģ����Ƶ’s campus in a open to all. Professors leading Livable City Year courses this fall will talk about their projects, followed by a time for Q&A.

“My students are really excited to be part of a larger initiative,” said , a Ģ����Ƶ assistant professor of health services who is teaching the class that will profile each Auburn neighborhood.

“They get to do something they really know will be valued and practice their professional skills to engage with each community.”

The new program is a cross-university collaboration led by faculty directors with the Department of Urban Design and Planning and with the School of Public Health, in collaboration with and , and with foundational support from the and . The program is also working with the nonprofit organization .

The projects in Auburn this fall include addressing homelessness issues, building awareness of city values, understanding wastewater discharge, managing pet waste and evaluating the success of a buy-local program. Ģ����Ƶ undergraduate and graduate students in six different courses spanning environmental and public health, sociology, and urban design and planning will deliver reports and recommendations to city leadership at the end of the quarter.

Sociology professor is tackling three separate projects on homelessness in Auburn with his upper-level undergraduate course on cities and neighborhood dynamics. One will assess and prioritize Auburn’s plans for addressing homelessness, and another will develop innovative strategies for understanding the size, change and distribution of the city’s homeless population.

A third project will focus on finding incentives to maintain the city’s relatively affordable older homes in the midst of expensive residential expansion.

“These are neat projects in that they allow students to work on things that are practically important, but there’s also, in a way, a ‘dream big’ element,” Crowder said. “There are great tools and resources at this university, so the more we can bring those to the community, the better off everyone will be.”

Several projects from this quarter will continue with Auburn for the rest of the academic year, and a half dozen new ones will begin winter and spring quarters. Other cities around Washington can apply to work with the Ģ����Ƶ through the Livable City Year program in future years.
