Purpose

The Sustainability Coordinators are a collaborative group of campus leaders representing Penn’s Schools and Centers that strive to implement significant operational and behavior changes to support the University’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 4.0 and drive a shift to carbon neutrality.

Impact

The Sustainability Coordinators act as a bridge to Penn’s senior leadership through the use of interdisciplinary, data-driven best practices and communicating accomplishments within their respective areas of campus.

Activities

Sustainability Coordinators attend monthly group meetings, lead their School’s participation in seasonal awareness campaigns, recruit members to the Penn Employee Alliance for Climate & the Environment (PEACE), and help to identify offices to participate in the Green Office program and labs to participate in the Green Labs program.

Penn is committed to reducing single-use plastic waste and promoting healthier hydration habits among students, staff, faculty, and visitors. This map can help you find a free water bottle refilling station anywhere on campus.

Water bottle refill stations are strategically placed throughout campus to ensure convenient access for the entire university community. They can be found in high-traffic areas such as academic buildings, residence halls, libraries, recreational facilities, and common areas. This distribution encourages individuals to refill their water bottles easily instead of purchasing single use plastic water bottles and to stay hydrated throughout the day.
