| The Johns Hopkins Sustainability Initiative (JHSI) was launched in the summer of 2006 as a natural outgrowth of several successful greening programs on campus. The JHSI was formed pursue three important goals: Develop and facilitate projects that reduce the negative environmental impacts of the University, particularly in ways that make us better stewards of energy and our natural resources;
Integrate the skills, experience, and creativity of our students and faculty into each project to the greatest extent possible; and
Promote sustainability through education and outreach activities, collaboration between school divisions, and involvement in the larger Baltimore community.
To watch a brief overview of the program, please click here. The JHSI is located on the Homewood campus and directed by Davis Bookhart. In fall of 2007 the Initiative expanded with the hire of Blake Hough, Sustainability Coordinator for the University. JHSI efforts are largely successful due to the hard work and energy of Hopkins students, faculty, and interns. Meet the Sustainability Initiative staff and interns here.
