金博宝188BET下载分校致力于使用和购买对环境和社会负责的材料和产品.

• 社区-史蒂文斯角和普洛弗
• Immediate – Within 50 miles
• Intermediate – Within 150 miles
• Regional – Within 400 miles

本地采购可通过我们的社区 Farmshed, Agora, Process, the Stevens Point Area Coop and The Market on Strongs.

NATURAL VS. BUILT

UW-Stevens Point maintains its campus grounds with sustainability in mind. Native plants are a priority in certain areas on campus, such as the rain gardens.

金博宝188BET下载包括一个自然资源学院, 因此，种植考虑到树木，以满足我们的户外教室和教学的需要.

UW-Stevens Point will occasionally use herbicides to control broadleaves, 但是每年都要继续减少使用. 只要可行，我们就使用有机肥, a steam-activated weed eliminator, and our campus-created compost for topdressing our grass and for our perennial beds. 为了减少冰雪清除对环境的影响, UW-Stevens Point uses an environmentally friendly way to eliminate ice.

在校园建筑时, the water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, 现有建筑物的适应性使用和保存, indoor environmental quality, construction waste and recycling, operation and maintenance, and purchasing of furniture, 固定装置和设备都被考虑在内. The Suites @201 are LEED-NC (New Construction) Gold Certified as of November 2012.

WATER BOTTLES ELIMINATED

金博宝188BET下载分校在2009-2010学年停止销售瓶装水，转而使用铝制瓶装水, 是西澳大学系统中第一个实现这一转变的大学!

在大学餐饮和夏季会议上，瓶装水和苏打水的销量已经有所减少，因为我们鼓励人们在配备了灌装口的饮水机旁使用自己的瓶子，或者使用可堆肥或可重复使用的瓶子来饮用喷泉饮料. 我们在校园里安装了许多加水站，以便更好地容纳那些自己带瓶子的人!

GREEN CLEANING

UW-Stevens Point upgraded to the Diversey chemical dispensing system that combines floor, glass, 消毒液和一般清洁剂合二为一. Chemicals are concentrated to reduce packaging and solid waste disposal. All of our chemicals are green certified with the exception of our disinfectant. Other initiatives pertaining to cleaning on campus includes trash liners made from recycled plastic, 可重复使用的拖把头和减少气溶胶.

ELECTRONICS

我们使用电子产品环境评估工具(EPEAT®), 一个全面的环境评级，有助于识别更环保的电脑和其他电子设备. 银色和/或金色注册产品用于标准台式机和笔记本/笔记本电脑和显示器.

DINING

金博宝188BET下载餐饮和夏季会议通过当地食品采购展示了对可持续发展的承诺, resource recovery (recycling), composting food wastes, energy reduction and continually exploring ideas to promote and support sustainability initiatives.

Dining and Summer Conferences removed all trays from the Upper DeBot dining, 从而使可利用的食物垃圾减少35%. The remaining unused food is processed through a pulper and is composted on campus and commercially.

高效率的洗碗机减少了公用事业、化学品的使用和水的消耗. 餐饮和夏季会议提供可重复使用的冷热饮料瓶出售，当使用可重复使用的容器时，饮料折扣25美分.

Food waste is composted and used for fertilizer in flower beds and in practice fields. 使用过的食用油被收集起来，自然资源学院将其用于生物燃料的研究和生物柴油的生产.

威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角致力于减少能源消耗. 我们不断尝试减少排放，并通过购买绿色电力来抵消碳排放总量, composting and managed forests. The combination of carbon reduction and carbon offsets will eventually lead us to carbon neutrality.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

减少我们的排放和温室气体, electric vehicles are used by Facility Services Mail Room and Central Stores for campus deliveries.

MANAGED FORESTS

We practice sustainable forestry on properties owned by UW-Stevens Point’s College of Natural Resources 遍布威斯康辛州中部和北部. 可持续林业是指以保持其生物多样性的方式和速度利用森林和林地, productivity, regeneration capacity, 具备相应的生态活力和潜力, 经济和社会职能的地方, national and global levels, 不会对其他生态系统造成破坏. These managed forests store atmospheric carbon, while improving soil and water quality.

SOLAR ENERGY

大多数金博宝188BET下载宿舍都配备了太阳能电池板，可以预热生活用水.

在诺埃尔美术中心的南侧是一组光伏板，它们从太阳中捕获光能，并用它来照亮庭院区域的一部分.

我们在Schmeeckle Reserve和Treehaven增加了太阳能电池板，并将继续增加更多以节省能源.

Our recycling policy is based on sound environmental practices that meet or exceed all national, state and local laws, 与资源回收有关的规例及条例. Our goal is to conserve our natural resources by reducing consumption of materials, 尽可能重复使用材料, recycling materials using current technology and practicing wise procurement policies, 包括购买回收材料.

堆肥箱遍布校园学术建筑，以减少进入垃圾填埋场的废物量. Organic materials are collected and processed naturally to become useful soil.

Residential Living还开展了一项堆肥计划，居民将食物垃圾收集并存放在每个宿舍楼内的集中堆肥箱内. It’s then delivered to our Waste Education Center, where it is then composted by staff and students. The final product is nutrient-rich soil, which is available for use by the campus.

我们的回收计划比大多数大学更全面. 我们有自己的废物教育中心, 哪个为学生提供垃圾填埋场, wastewater treatment, recycling, 堆肥和危险废物管理培训. A portion of the building functions as the campus materials recycling facility and handles cans, bottles, plastic and cardboard.

安装在R停车场的雨水收集系统的设计是为了使地表径流的水每25到50年才会流入威斯康星河. A manifold system works in conjunction with bio-filtration collection islands. 安装在整个停车场表面的雨水花园在补给停车场区域的地下水之前去除悬浮固体.

协助雨水管理, 2005年，威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角分校在威斯康辛州中部的艾伯森大厅顶部安装了第一个绿色屋顶.

WHAT DOES A GREEN ROOF DO?

• Extends the life of the roof
• Reduces excess runoff
• Reduces heating and cooling expense – less energy means fewer greenhouse gas emissions
• 在城市环境中提供一片绿色绿洲
• 减少机器、交通和飞机的声音
• 隔离和遮蔽建筑，减少热岛效应. The evapotranspiration of the plants contributes to cooling the atmosphere in their vicinity

校园雨水花园收集来自屋顶的径流并进行过滤，以便更清洁的水到达地下水位，更少的水到达风暴系统. 校园里随处可见雨水花园.

Bee Campus USA is a program of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, 一项保护大学校园传粉昆虫的全国性倡议.

In 2020, UW-Stevens Point became the first UW school to be a certified Bee Campus. Led by a committee of students, staff, and faculty, our continuing mission is to protect pollinators and their habitats on the grounds of UWSP.
