Green Campus Vision Statement
The University of Maine at Farmington is committed to environmental stewardship and to graduating responsible global citizens who care about our environment.

As an educational institution, we have the opportunity to be a leader in promoting the sustainable use of the Earth's resources. We will learn about, and understand, sustainable environmental practices, making their benefits apparent to students, faculty, staff, and our community. Environmental issues will be studied broadly in courses throughout the curriculum.

In addition to educating our campus and the community, we will demonstrate by our own policies and practices that we are good environmental stewards. Sustainable practices will be an integral part of our campus management and operations in building and renovating, in reducing pollution and waste, in using appropriate energy resources and materials, and in protecting and incorporating the native environment in our campus spaces. Indoor and outdoor environments should be healthful and aesthetically pleasing.

Committing to environmental responsibility means that we will also set goals for ourselves and monitor our progress towards them.
