Greening the DLSPH

The Greening Work Group in the Dalla Lana School of Public Health was established to implement the sustainability plan.  This plan involves the development and implementation of School goals concerning environmental policy, education, research and evaluation in the areas of solid waste, hazardous waste, paper, indoor air quality, energy, transportation, water, food, caretaking, and public engagement.

New Members: the DLSPH Greening committee is always looking for interested faculty, staff and students to participate in our initiatives.  If you are interested in joining please email us.

Challenge for 2010!

• 29,000,000,000 plastic bottles used annually in the USA alone; 86% are NOT recycled

• The 17,000,000 barrels of oil used to make those bottles could fuel 100,000 cars for a full year

• The $100 billion that is spent globally on plastic water bottles each year could provide clean water for every human on the planet

I invite you to join me and thousands of other people in making 2010 the year in which you avoid plastic water bottles!
