OUR MISSION: The Office of Sustainability provides tools and strategies to the Johns Hopkins community so that the institution is more sustainable and remains strong and vibrant.

OUR VISION: Sustainability is smart and responsible actions that prioritize people, natural resources, and finances to safeguard the health of future generations. A Sustainable Hopkins is a place where...

  • The natural resources are used responsibly so that they can be renewed naturally
  • Buildings and the physical grounds contribute to a sense of revival and rejuvenation
  • Zero waste is generated – all waste is reused, recycled, repurposed, retrofit, or composted
  • Sustainability is embedded in decision making, planning and actions of individuals of the institution
  • All members of the community are enriched by the experience of working or studying within its boundaries

WHAT WE ARE DOING:
We are currently working on some exciting projects, including

  • Exploring the use of alternative sources of energy
  • Developing a transportation plan to reduce pollutants
  • Working on green building designs
  • Aggressively pursuing energy conservation projects across the JHU divisions
  • Engaging the campus community to conserve resources through peer education and competition
  • Managing storm water runoff
  • Promoting more sustainable food choices
