EPA's Environmental Management Guide for Colleges and Universities: A Tool to Promote Sustainability Madeline Snow EMS Service Program, Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, UMass Lowell

“An EMS offers a set of problem identification and problem-solving tools that can be implemented by anyone and everyone in a college or university in many different ways. These tools can help you complete projects and meet your goals. A fully implemented EMS integrates your goals into everyday operations, as environmental stewardship becomes part of the daily responsibility for everyone across the entire campus, not just in the environmental or planning department.” Gina Snyder College & University Regional Sector Lead U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region I New England
