Sustainable Duke Introduces New Workshop for Duke Staff
Would you like to become a more sustainable staff member and help reduce the environmental impact of your workplace?
In 2011, Sustainable Duke will offer a new workshop on sustainability in the workplace for Duke staff. The first free, two-hour workshop will take place on January 28th from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Workshops will continue on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
Register for the January workshop.
This two hour workshop will provide you with the materials and skills necessary to "green" your office. Sustainability is an expanding field and a serious commitment at Duke. Duke President Richard H. Brodhead signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) in 2007, and Duke has since developed a Climate Action Plan that will guide the University in achieving climate neutrality by 2024.
Becoming the sustainability expert in your office can help provide a competitive advantage in the workplace while helping Duke address climate change and other environmental issues.
In the workshop we will cover:
- sustainability efforts at Duke University;
- personal changes you can make to reduce your environmental footprint at work;
- starting and leading a green team;
- performing an environmental audit of your workplace; and
- resources provided by Sustainable Duke to assist you in office greening.
Workshop attendees will have the option of becoming part of a network of staff members at Duke who are committed to greening their workplace and are interested in learning from the successes and challenges of their peers in other offices across campus. Sustainable Duke will provide ongoing advice and assistance to these individuals.
Space is limited so register today!
