Sustainability
The University of La Verne’s Sustainable Campus Consortium helps raise awareness and understanding of environmental issues as well as take the lead in developing initiatives to improve La Verne’s conservation and sustainability practices. Conservation, in fact, is the key word when it comes to the university’s efforts to respond to the environment. La Verne’s recycling program has collected more than 284 tons of cardboard and 367 tons of paper for recycling. This commitment has led to an unprecedented 65 percent waste-diversion rate as well as to the university being awarded a WRAP award from the California Integrated Waste Management Board. La Verne also keeps tabs on its energy and water use through regular auditing, which enables the school to address consumption concerns in a timely manner. In 2013, the University joined the Billion Dollar Green Challenge by establishing a permanent Green Revolving Fund to support environmental projects. La Verne is working toward energy-efficiency through the installation of new and improved lighting fixtures and a more efficient chiller plant. The university’s water conservation plan includes the installation of energy-efficient plumbing fixtures, improved irrigation on campus, and the use of “xeriscaping” (from the Greek “xeros,” which means “dry”) in lieu of traditional landscaping, that encourages the use of native and drought-tolerant plants to reduce water consumption. La Verne brings its dedication to sustainability into the classroom by offering environmentally-focused academic programs, such as environmental biology. Additionally, La Verne works to provide students with low impact food by using 75 percent of food expenditures to purchase local and/or organic foods.
