The Office of Sustainability is excited to announce the relaunch of the Green Office Program! The Green Office Program helps offices around the UO campus adopt sustainable practices through completion of the Green Office certification. 

 For more information, visit the Green Office Program webpage. If you have questions about the program, reach out to Katie Lucca (klucca@uoregon.edu). 

It was a beautiful 70° day for our CPFM BBQ. It was the perfect way to say goodbye to summer and gear up for the new school year! We had numerous people from all departments that helped to make the BBQ happen. Tj Now it's time to get excited for our next event, the Winter Celebration! 

At the UO, we prioritize environmental and social sustainability through academics, programming, and day-to-day practices. CPFM is the foundation of our university, providing support in a variety of ways to keep campus a thriving community for students, staff, and faculty.

Sustainable practices are everywhere, and the Office of Sustainability wants to hear what you are doing to make our campus more sustainable! Submit your sustainability stories to Work Control at workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu, to have them featured in the monthly UO Sustainability and CPFM newsletters.
