| 2008 Student Transporation Survey Results | Results of survey distributed to students (when they registered their cars) in attempts to improve transportation options both two and from campus and in the local area and to help determine ways to reduce the University’s carbon footprint. | 02/10/2009 | ||

| Annual Recycling Report 2004-2006 | Report includes tonnage and recipient of each type of recyclable material from the years 2004-2006. | 12/31/2006 | ||
| Climate Neutrality Action Plan Interim Report | As a signatory to the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), St. Lawrence has agreed to put forth a plan by September 15, 2009 for achieving eventual climate neutrality. Climate neutrality has been defined by the ACUPCC as zero‐net greenhouse gas emissions. We report here our recent efforts toward meeting the Presidents Climate Commitment. | 05/01/2009 | ||
| Dorm Recycling Room Guide | Know your dorm's recycling room and how it works. Each room should have a canister for recycling batteries, and compact florescent light bulbs, these items are toxic if not disposed of properly. | 08/13/2008 | ||

| Map of Tunneled and Direct Buried Steam Lines | Most folks familiar with the SLU campus in winter know that there are times when there is a grass strip on the quad (and other locations) when snow blankets the rest of campus. A central heating plant requires distribution lines to move steam to buildings across campus; direct buried lines shed heat and make the system less efficient. This map shows which lines have already been tunneled and which still need to be completed. | 06/30/2008 | ||
| No-Mow Zones Map | Yellow areas on the map represent ‘no-mow zones’ with a total of over 40 acres. These are areas designated by our grounds manager to be left wild during the growing season (some of these areas are mowed once at the end of the season to prevent woody species from colonizing). Many of these areas have bird houses and wildflowers. | 04/15/2009 | ||
| President's Climate Commitment Two Month Report | As the first report due upon signing the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment information includes the institutional structure and tangible actions St. Lawrence will use to meet the goals of our commitment. | 11/08/2007 | ||
| SmartStrip (powerstrip) Energy Savings | In attempts to beat phantom load (electricity used by appliances while they are turned ‘off’ but still plugged in) the Information Technology Department investigated the purchase of SmartStrips; powerstrips that turn off all peripherals when the computer is shut down. Explanation of SmartStrips and electricity savings are included. | 05/10/2008 | ||
| Summary of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) | It is often said that we don’t measure what we don’t value and we can’t manage what we don’t measure. St. Lawrence University's commitment to climate neutrality (zero-net greenhouse gas emissions) necessitates that we both measure and manage our greenhouse gas emissions. | 02/17/2009 | ||
| Sustainable Dining Resolution | The food we eat is an important part of our daily lives and plays a major role in how the University operates. Although St. Lawrence University provides the students, faculty, and staff with many food choices year round, our food system is based on agriculture and transportation systems that are not sustainable. In light of the Environmental Resolution, the Environmental Action Plan, and President Sullivan’s signing of the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, the students passed a resolution to support the increase of local and sustainable food on campus. | 04/09/2008 | ||
| Washer Efficiency Statistics | Water, heat and electricity savings realized by St. Lawrence by switching from top to front loading washing machines. Includes frequently asked questions on how to use a front loading machine. | 06/13/2007 |
