Live Cardinal Green
At Stanford, sustainability is integrated into every aspect of campus life. The university relies on each of us to act as responsible campus citizens to help reduce our collective environmental footprint. There are 30,0000 community members on the Stanford campus, from custodians and professors to chefs and students. Each one of our daily behaviors combine to make a huge impact. Be mindful of how you interact with the campus environment and its resources to live sustainably—Live Cardinal Green—during your time with us, whether for four years as a student or 30 years as an employee. The Student Sustainable Living Guide offers a variety of activities and tips to minimize your environmental footprint on campus. To get a sense of what Living Cardinal Green means to others in the community, check out the Sustainable Living Video, produced by R&DE. Do your part to lead by example, and pledge to Live Cardinal Green.
