Greening UM is a coalition representing all UM sustainability initiatives. It represents every eco-minded initiative on campus from those in the classroom to those in the heating plant. Specifically, this website is maintained and overseen by the Sustainable Campus Committee and the Office of Sustainability. We welcome comments and feedback and encourage all members of the UM community to be a part of Greening UM.
The Campus Climate Exchange will occur on Feburary 16th and 17th 2010. The ASUM Sustainability Office invites all faculty from across campus to engage their classes in a discussion related to climate change and the UM Climate Action Plan recently published. If you are a faculty member that participated in this two day event please take a moment to take the Survey on the Current Campaigns Page to provide feedback on how the discussion went.
The UM Forum for Living with Appropriate Technology (UM FLAT) is an experiential live-in resource (house) for UM students demonstrating the practicality of sustainable living. The ultimate goal of the UM FLAT is to encourage the development of efficient and affordable homes for a sustainable society. By retro-fitting an existing home the utility of the UM FLAT demonstration resources could be easily applied to the Missoula community.

The optional $4 student fee for the Revolving Energy Loan Fund (RELF) passed through the Board of Regents. This fee will start a campus-wide fund to help pay for energy saving and waste reduction projects. Students from across campus are encouraged to submit project proposals that will address energy savings. Currently the RELF commitee is being formed and a call for proposals from students will be out later in the semester. For more information contact Erica at asum.sustain@mso.umt.edu
