As the infrastructure of the University steadily and significantly improves, it quietly reduces its carbon footprint. Our efforts have been recognized.
The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota Motor North America, Inc., recently designated UTC as a 2011 Tree Campus USA®. The national program “honors higher education institutions and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation.”
The UTC Environmental Task Force recently approved funding for a Sustainability Garden Program. Beginning in spring 2012, twelve multidisciplinary students will be selected to sustain two 4-foot by 24-foot raised bed vegetable gardens as well as attend workshops offered by local organic farmers and local food leaders.
