Become a Green Workplace |
|
The Green Workplace program provides you with achievable steps toward a more sustainable workplace and celebrates your accomplishments. |
Contribute to Environmental Justice |
|
The causes and effects of climate change and other environmental issues also often exacerbate inequitable social conditions. Embedding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into daily interactions will help address sustainability challenges. |
Create a Flexible Work Arrangement |
|
Flexible work arrangements potentially can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and overbuilding or over-leasing of built space, as well as create desirable flexibility for employees. |
Eat Sustainably |
|
Strategies for eating more sustainably. |
Help Steward Campus Land |
|
Activities that can help us reach our Land Management sustainability goals. |
Host a Green Event |

Use our Green Events Checklist to help you plan your event to be green and hopefully save you some green! |
Influence Policy and Legislation |
|
Being an informed and active community member is critical to shape a sustainable future. We share some of the ways you can participate in shaping the future on campus and beyond: |
Join the Freezer Challenge |
|
The Sustainability Office seeks to collaborate with researchers on their cold storage (freezers and refrigerators) to improve sample access, reduce the risks related to freezer use, and save energy. |
Learn about Campus Sustainability |
|
Learn about the many ways you can interact and get involved on campus. |
Park an Electric Vehicle on campus |
|
Instructions for commuters wishing to park electric vehicles on our Davis and Sacramento campuses. |
Recycle from A-Z |
|
An alphabetized, sorted listing of all the items you may be seeking to recycle on the Davis campus or at UC Davis Health and instructions for each. |
Reduce My Carbon Footprint |
|
Climate change is a grave threat to the health of people and our planet. The science is clear that we all have to take action now. We each have a responsibility to look at our own footprints, and to help make changes at a larger scale to address the threat of climate change. |
Reduce Waste |
|
In line with our UC waste reduction goals, we encourage everyone to reduce and reuse their waste first, and then try to divert any generated waste through recycling and composting. |
Save Energy |
|
Help campus meet our carbon neutrality goals by maximizing your energy efficiency and decreasing your usage on campus to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. |
Save Water |
|
Water is precious, and hot, dry weather and recurring droughts are common in our part of California. Each interaction with water is an opportunity to mindfully reduce your use, even by a small amount. |
Use Sustainable Transportation |
|
Actions to reduce your commuter carbon footprint. |
