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:

1. 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;
   
   
2. Integrate the skills, experience, and creativity of our students, faculty and staff into each project to the greatest extent possible; and
   
   
3. Promote sustainability through education and outreach activities, collaboration between school divisions, and involvement in the larger Baltimore community.

Watch a brief overview of the program.

The JHSI is located on the Homewood campus and directed by Davis Bookhart.  In fall of 2007 the Initiative expanded with the hire of a Sustainability Coordinator for the University.  This position is currently held by Leana Houser. JHSI efforts are largely successful due to the hard work and energy of Hopkins students, faculty, staff and interns.
