We assist in facilitating two signature sustainability programs. One is Do it in the Dark, which is a two-week energy conservation competition. The other is Campus Race to Zero Waste, an international waste reduction and recycling competition for colleges and universities. The intent of these programs is to raise awareness and assist the community in creating sustainable habits for on-campus and beyond!

Whenever possible we purchase local, seasonal, and responsibly raised, grown and sourced products whenever possible. UCS firmly believes responsible sourcing has a direct impact on local and global economies, health and wellness and the environment. With every purchase, we engage suppliers and partners to source environmentally and socially responsible products.

We minimize waste by reducing, reusing, and recycling. We strive to minimize our carbon footprint through waste reduction efforts. Across operations, we have practices from initial purchase to final waste disposal that decrease the overall cost of waste both environmentally and financially.

We do our best to ensure our transportation programs reduce fuel usage and emissions.
