UMM is Green Power Partner
The University of Minnesota – Morris (UMM) has been recognized as a green power partner by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Morris campus has a long-standing tradition of students, faculty and staff working together to promote resource conservation.
The campus has established a Green Energy Task Force to review and monitor campus operations with a goal to move toward a more resource-conscious approach to energy and resource conservation. The task force was comprised of a cross section of the campus community with an emphasis on involving students and key supervisors who made decisions about resource utilization. Campus activities have included a water conservation program, changing the campus newsletter from paper to e-mail, recycling more, replacing traditional vehicles in the fleet service with hybrid vehicles, and purchasing power from a newly installed wind-power generator at the University of Minnesota West Central Research and Outreach Center.
