Carbon Neutral Strategic Plan

An initial carbon inventory has been completed for our largest campus (Tempe campus), and two other inventories are currently under way. The Carbon Neutral Strategic Plan will be drafted by a structure of appointed committees, however many projects and initiatives in the following seven areas are currently underway: energy, water, buildings and grounds, food services, transportation, waste and recycling, and purchasing and policy.
