University of Buffalo, NY Campus Recycling Policy

Type: Policy
Status: In Effect
Source File: http://wings.buffalo.edu/ubgreen/content/policies/policy_recycling.html
Description:
Campus Recycling Policy
The Senior Officers Policy states that "all paper that can be recycled (including shredded paper) should be recycled." UB's "Campus
Work/Production Processes Policy" states that the university "will constantly strive to promote and publicize the implementation of work/production processes which maximize the use of recycled products, minimize or eliminate waste, seek economies and efficiencies, and reduce the consumption of energy." The NYS Solid Waste Management Act of 1988 set a statewide waste reduction goal of 50% by 1997 and calls on state agencies to recycle at least 50% of their solid waste.
The University seeks to maximize the recycling of waste materials. Our initial objective is to achieve a minimum level of 50% recycling of our solid waste stream. In order to accomplish our recycling objectives, the following steps will be taken:
* University Facilities, with support and guidance from the University's Environmental Task Force, will develop guidelines and mechanisms for campus recycling.
		
* Faculty and staff in all offices and departments will participate in the recycling effort by following instructions regarding the separation of recyclable and non-recyclable materials and by placing recyclable materials in appropriately marked recycling containers. Resident and commuter students are also expected to participate in campus recycling efforts.
		
* University Facilities will monitor progress on recycling with assistance from the Environmental Task Force's Building Conservation Contacts (BCC) network. Lack of participation will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
		
* Members of the University community are expected to work together to optimize the recycling process consistent with work productivity. 100% involvement is expected.
		
* In order to "close the loop," all University offices and departments are strongly encouraged to purchase and maximize the use of products made of recycled materials, especially recycled paper, preferably made with minimum chlorine bleaching and with a high post-consumer waste paper content.
		
* Recognizing that waste reduction is preferable to recycling, all University offices and departments are also strongly encouraged to utilize waste reduction techniques including the use of double-sided copying and electronic mail. Many paper saving techniques are appropriate to University office activities and should be employed as a matter of daily routine.

University of Buffalo, NY Campus Smoke-Free Policy

Type: Policy
Status: In Effect
Source File: http://wings.buffalo.edu/ubgreen/content/policies/policy_smokefree.html
Description:
Campus Smoke-Free Policy
Studies have indicated that exposure to second-hand smoke is a significant risk to the non-smoker. The University is responsible for providing a safe environment for its students, employees, and visitors.
* Smoking is strictly prohibited in all University owned and operated buildings, stadiums, and outdoor events, and in all vehicles owned and operated by the University. Doorways and loading docks are considered part of the building.
		
* Exception: selected residence hall bedrooms – Smoking is allowed in designated student bedrooms on designated floors only at the request of the students.
		
* In residence halls smoking is prohibited in all areas, which the students use in common, or to which the public has access.
Complaints relating to the implementation of this policy should be referred to the appropriate department/division head. In “common” areas, those responsible for assisting with complaint resolution will be clearly posted. If the department/division head cannot reach a resolution, the matter should be referred to either the appropriate personnel office or, in the case of students, to the Office of Judicial Affairs/Ombudsman. In addition to being charged with violating the smoke-free policy, unresponsive individuals may also be charged with failure to comply with the reasonable request of a University administrator. Should someone not comply with a reasonable request, Public Safety may be notified.

Description:
Campus Wildlife Policy
The University will not kill any wildlife or use any lethal means of control on campus wildlife except as noted below:
* Lethal means of control may be used as already addressed by the official policy of Public Safety which states that a suspected rabid or dangerous animal will only be destroyed when it presents a clear and present danger to a member of the campus community.
		
* In all other cases Public Safety policy calls for the notification of either the SPCA, ADC, or a wildlife rehabilitator who may secure the animal through the use of a trap, snare, or tranquilizer.
		
* In all other circumstances, in the event that non-lethal methods of control have proved to be ineffective after sufficient attempts, the Senior Vice President will establish a committee to fully investigate other possible methods and relevant issues.
		
* Student organizations will be appropriately notified and invited to participate in the investigation of alternative solutions to campus wildlife problems.
		
* The Committee will issue a report to the Senior VP of their findings and recommendations.
		
* The Senior VP, after consultation, will decide upon a method of control to be used and will inform the University community.
		
* This policy is not meant to supersede any government public health measures.
		
* Rats and mice are specifically excluded from the provisions of this policy.

University of California-Berkeley "e-Berkeley"

Type: Policy
Status: Adopted
Source File: http://eberkeley.berkeley.edu/
Description:
What is e-Berkeley?
e-Berkeley is a new Chancellor's initiative whose goal is to use the power of the Web to transform the way the university operates, from day-to-day functions to its central mission of teaching and research.
e-Berkeley is an open-ended, ongoing project, guided by the needs and input of Berkeley students, faculty, staff, alumni, and business partners.
Major activities include:
* reducing paperwork by putting more information services and transactions online
* collecting far-flung campus services and functions into easily accessible "portal" Web sites specially tailored to the needs of each community
* streamlining access to course information and content
Benefits for Staff
The goal of e-Berkeley is to make transactions available online for students, faculty and staff. For staff, the goal is to move many currently cumbersome manual processes to online automated systems. Some of the currently proposed initiatives include plans to streamline such processes as Travel and Expense reimbursement, timesheet processing, and generation of reports from financial systems. On a more general level, the e-Berkeley initiative will promote better communications to staff on a number of issues.
Benefits for Faculty
The benefits of e-Berkeley for faculty lean heavily toward learning systems. Major projects currently being evaluated include enterprise-wide Learning Management Systems, continuation and management of Streaming Media for courses, and e-Grades. Additionally, a system to automate the Protocol System for Research is currently being developed, automating the process of submitting Research projects for review to various committees. Additionally, Faculty will directly benefit from some of the administrative systems, especially the online travel system.
Benefits for Students
Many of the benefits for students are similar to the faculty benefits, including more availability of courses online, which will directly impact the availability of popular courses. Additionally, some of the Faculty initiatives will result in benefits for students, for example, more timely posting of grades. Of course, many administrative processes currently requiring a personal interaction at the University will be available online and will be paid for via a secure credit card interface, for example, Career Center services will be available online, and Housing & Dining Residence Halls application Fees can be paid online.

University of California-Berkeley First Campus to Receive Organic Certification

Type: Policy
Status: Announced in March 2006
Source File: http://caldining.berkeley.edu/environment_organic_cert.html
Description:
Organic Certification
Cal Dining received the nation's first organic certification on a college campus in March 2006. The first organic salad bar was launched in Crossroads dining commons in April 2006. Now all four dining halls (including Clark Kerr, Foothill, and Café 3) are certified and are now serving 100% organic salad bars as well. This certification was an important step to maintain the integrity of our continued environmental efforts.
Promise statement:
* Following the national organic regulations set forth by the USDA, Cal Dining is Certified Organic through CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) in serving an organic salad bar in its residence halls.
* Cal Dining is partnering with Piranha Produce and United Natural Foods, both of which are certified organic distributors of fresh vegetables and fruits as well as processed vegetables, beans, dried fruits, nuts, dressings, oils and vinegars. By purchasing from these distributors, we will be able to comply with having our salad bar maintain at least 95% organically certified produce.
Organic FAQ
Q: What does it mean when a product is labeled organic?
A: In 2002, the National Organic Standards Board of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) established a national standard for the term "organic." Any grower, manufacturer or processor who makes a claim of "organic" must be certified by a certifying agency accredited by the USDA. Furthermore, there are strict rules defining varying degrees of "organic."
* "100 percent organic" - The product contains ONLY organically produced raw or processed material.
* "Organic" - The product has 95% to 100% organic ingredients and may display the USDA Organic seal.
* "Made with organic ingredients" - The product has 70% to 95% organic ingredients. 
* Products made with less than 70% organic ingredients may only list the organic ingredients on the ingredient label, not on the front panel, and may not display the USDA Organic seal.
Natural Products
Based on customer response, Cal Dining transitioned to natural, organic and trans-fat free packaged items in our retail locations and added several of these items on Cal Club, our online bulk grocery program.
In the residence halls, we always serve 100% organic salad bars, organic trans-fat free peanut butter and organic, cage-free eggs.
In addition to our edible selections, Cal Club and Bear Market also feature an entire line of biodegradable, earth-friendly health and beauty items (such as shampoo and sunscreen) and laundry detergent.

University of California-Los Angeles Recycling Program

Type: Program
Status: Initiated in 1990
Source File: Click here
Description:
The Facilities Management Recycling Program enhances the UCLA environment by diverting substantial amounts of refuse from landfills and encouraging more responsible use of natural resources. Initiated in 1990, the program currently recycles nearly 9 million pounds generated annually by the UCLA community. We recycle:
* CRV Beverage Containers
* Whitepaper
* Mixed paper and Cardboard
* Newspaper
* Green Waste
* Rock product, Wood and Metal
* Computer Toner Cartridges
UCLA's complex waste stream includes materials generated by the full-service hospital as well as numerous research laboratories, eating establishments and special events.
While Facilities Management's efforts mainly concentrate on recycling paper, cardboard and green (or landscape) waste, we do not ignore other recyclables. We collect non-white paper and cardboard, in blue bins, separate such items from the waste stream and transport them to a recycling center. In January 2000, we launched a concerted beverage container recycling effort with a grant from the California State Department of Conservation to collect aluminum and plastic.
