Greening MIT
To support the new greeningMIT initiative, the following series of pages are meant to inform and empower your efforts toward taking action for a more sustainable campus.
Why a more sustainable campus?
In the face of our growing climate challenge, we each have a responsibility to act sustainably in our daily lives as well as through the pioneering research and educational excellence that MIT is known for. By taking action to conserve resources, we can create a more sustainable campus and lead the way toward a more sustainable world.
Why me?

What is Greening MIT?
Greening MIT is a new initiative of the MIT Energy Initiative's Campus Energy Task Force to engage the entire MIT community in taking action to make our campus more sustainable.
