The Sector Strategies point-of-contact is working with College and University Sector Partners to develop sector-specific approaches to assist in advancing the use of environmental management systems, reduce regulatory performance barriers, and measure environmental progress.
• Green Landscaping is a crucial part of Campus Planning and Design. The EPA has a website containing general information on Green Landscaping, and another site with more information on green landscaping techniques HERE.
• One way to landscape more efficiently is known as “xeriscaping”. This strategy reduces water usage through drought-resistant plantings. Xeriscaping Colorado! Inc provides information on xeriscaping (although it is specifically targeted at the Rocky Mountain region, much of the information applies elsewhere). Greenbuilder.com contains more information on xeriscaping.
