Welcome to the Sustainability Committee Home page!

About the Wheaton College Sustainability Committee:

The Sustainability Committee serves as the umbrella organization for all eco-friendly initiatives both within the College and with our affiliated green business partners. Students, faculty, and staff meet monthly to discuss and to offer support for new and ongoing green initiatives. Topics include energy efficiency of buildings, maintenance of grounds, access to recycling, and new initiatives are open for disucussion. An open, grass-roots style forum lends itself well sharing ideas and ultimately to advancing sustainability efforts, locally and globally.

All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
