1 MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY 1

2 MSU Goals  Reduce waste by 30% by 2015  Reduce electrical energy use by 15% by 2015  Reduce greenhouse gasses by 15% by 2015 2005-06 baseline 2

3 Indicators  Copy paper/water bottles  Landfill waste  Recycled materials  Total energy  Energy per square foot  Energy per person  Water 3

4 Copy Paper Sales  Environmental stewardship recommendations to increase two-sided copying and encourage purchasing recycled content paper  Since 2005, 38% decrease in virgin paper purchased and 10% decrease in total paper purchased 4

6 Water bottle reduction  From 2007-08 to 2008-09, water bottle purchases through food stores reduced by 32%  Be Spartan Green bottles distributed to residence hall students and as giveaways for special events 6

7 Recycled Materials  In some instances, decreasing inputs may decrease the amount of recycled materials collected  Recycling should increase over time as the breadth of materials collected expands 7

9 Landfill Waste  Reducing inputs and increasing recycling has helped reduce landfill waste  Campus landfill waste decreased by 14% from fiscal year 2007–08 to fiscal year 2008–09 9

11 A Few Trends  Continue to add new square footage  Conservation programs Retro-commissioning Behavior change  Fuel switching when economical  More efficient use of energy 11

13 13 Includes campus square footage and the Power Plant

14 Using energy more efficiently  Since 2005-06, while population has increased 7.4%, BTU/person has reduced 6.9%  Since 2005-06, campus square footage has increased by 1.8%, BTU/square foot has reduced 1.8% 14
