Green Space Certification

Have you or your colleagues wanted to implement more sustainable practices in your everyday operations, but don't know where to start? Our student-run Green Space Team would love to help.

Our Green Space Team is eager and ready to identify actions you can take to decrease waste, conserve resources and improve their overall environmental performance (while saving the college money!). There are three levels of certification, and offices across Saint Mary's have the opportunity to improve their rating by improving their performance over the course of a year or through a phased-approach. By signing up to Green Space, our student consultants provide you the necessary resources to make your office and surrounding spaces green. The two audits (pre- and post-) cover energy, waste, food, transportation, purchasing and outreach/events. 

Please send an email to greenspace@stmarys-ca.edu to set up an informational meeting.

Our current Green Space Certification checklist is available online here.
