Welcome
TO UMASS
at UMass Amherst we explore, take responsibility for, and work to reduce the impacts of our actions
While you are at UMass Amherst you are part of a community motivated to live more sustainably. What does that mean? It means we collectively and individually work to understand the impacts of our actions. We take responsibility for those actions and we work to reduce our impacts by making informed decisions in our daily lives. Paying attention to the waste we create is one such action.
Sustainability is a community effort and core value at UMass that crosses units and disciplines and is woven throughout our academic and social spheres. Sustainability is a complex concept which seeks balance between environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality. It is often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to do so.
Take advantage of the resources within to learn about, practice, and incorporate sustainable waste practices into your daily rhythms on campus. Our actions as individuals and as a community have impacts beyond us. It is our responsibility to minimize these impacts through our actions by living sustainably every day. Be a part of this community effort - be your best UMass Amherst.
