Macalester College Sustainability plan
In 2009 Macalester College adopted our first Sustainability Plan. The plan combines both the required institutional action plan for climate neutrality that American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) requires and the outcomes of a year-long college-wide sustainability strategic planning process. The Sustainability Plan is a comprehensive and pragmatic map that continues to guide Macalester towards ever more sustainable practices. The plan addresses many aspects of campus sustainability, but emphasizes two in particular - zero waste and climate neutrality.
The original 2009 plan was updated in 2011 to provide ongoing realignment of our actions to achieve our broad goals of climate neutrality by 2025 and zero waste by 2020. We are proud to offer this updated version of our plan that will keep our efforts toward sustainability active as we move toward climate neutrality and zero waste.
