Connecticut College has a long history of environmental stewardship and scholarship. The seeds were planted when the College created the Arboretum and later established one of the nation’s first environmental studies programs. We have grown significantly from these roots and continue to work towards deeper campus sustainability. 

As a community member, you play an important role in the continued success of the College’s sustainability efforts. Energy and water conservation, waste reduction, reuse, and engagement with social justice on campus benefit us all. This Green Living Guide provides tips for living more sustainably on campus and beyond. We're glad you're here!
