The University of Massachusetts Amherst has been selected to participate
in the EPA sponsored EMS Pilot Program for Colleges and Universities.
In applying for the program, the Chancellor said:
"The
campus has a long history of environmental stewardship. I
view this program as another step that is consistent
with our mission."
EMS refers to Environmental Management System, a comprehensive
management strategy designed to continually identify and reduce
the environmental impact resulting from our activities. Benefits
of an EMS include greater energy and water conservation, improved
solid waste management and compliance with state and federal environmental
regulations.
EMS-Pilot kick off event November 4, 2002.
