Sustainability
One of the top Canadian academic institutions, Western University pledges a commitment to “embedding sustainability into every facet of daily life.” Its vow that “through active citizenship, teaching, and research, we will ensure the health of our planet and its people for the long term” makes it clear that it believes sustainability isn’t just a passing craze. Signatories of both the Talloires Declaration and Ontario Universities Committed to a Greener World, Western has put valuable pieces in place, hiring an employee dedicated to sustainability initiatives on campus and implementing a President’s Advisory Committee on Environmental Sustainability. More recently, Western released its 10-year sustainability plan: “Creating a Sustainable Western Experience,” which has been instrumental in upholding its commitment to sustainability. Students contribute to the vibrancy of the sustainability movement, running EnviroWestern, an organization with a number of ongoing and new initiatives each year, earning environmental credits in natural, physical, and social science departments, as well as humanities, engineering, and business, while participating in sustainable research. Western offers over 280 sustainability-related courses, has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 12 percent over the last four years, and collected and composted over 440 tonnes of organic waste in 2013. These great initiatives helped the university to earn a STARS Gold Rating in 2014 under version 2.0. What’s more, Western has installed electricity meters on all buildings, allowing for real-time monitoring of electricity, and is in the process of installing water and steam meters for all buildings as well. As EnviroWestern students assert, “Small Steps, Big Impact.”
