Mason becomes the second University in VA, and 38th in North America, to receive a prestigious AASHE STARS Silver sustainability rating. 

Recycling at Mason gets a new look. Look for our new bins in the Johnson Center and coming soon to University Hall.

Got an idea on how to make Mason more Sustainable? Join the seven project recipients who were funded this fall (next application deadline is April 1, 2012).

Mason buys 5% Green Power. That is the equivalent to removing the CO2 produced by removing 950 cars from the road for a year….about the same number of cars that can park in Rappahannock parking deck's 1st and 2nd floor.
