The Green Office Program:

Engages staff, faculty and students in a voluntary, self-guided initiative that promotes sustainable best practices at the University of Maryland by supporting and recognizing offices that are taking steps toward reducing their environmental footprint.

Join the expansive network of Green Office representatives (GO Reps) across campus helping to shift our campus culture, practices, and impact! A series of checklists and tools will guide Green Office Reps through the levels of certification.

• Educate participants about how and why to take action

• Support the University’s Climate Action Plan and Strategic Plan
