GREENING UCSB: DEVELOPMENT OF AN ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL ANDPOLICY STATEMENT TO IMPROVE CAMPUS SUSTAINABILITYAs authors of this Group Project report, we are proud to archive it in DavidsonLibrary so the results of our research are available for all to read. Our signatures onthe document signify our joint responsibility to fulfill the archiving standards set byGraduate Division, Davidson Library, and the Donald Bren School of EnvironmentalScience & Management.Tarlie HarrisJeff MeiserHeather RosenbergAutumn SalamackThis mission of the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science & Management isto produce professionals with unrivaled training in environmental science andmanagement who will devote their unique skills to the diagnosis, assessment,mitigation, prevention, and remedy of the environmental problems of today and thefuture. A guiding principal of the School is that the analysis of environmentalproblems requires quantitative training in more than one discipline and an awarenessof the physical, biological, social, political, and economic consequences that arisefrom scientific or technological decisions. The Group Project is required of allstudents in the Master’s of Environmental Science and Management (MESM)Program. It is a three-quarter activity in which small groups of students conductfocused, interdisciplinary research on the scientific, management, and policydimensions of a specific environmental issue. This Final Group Project Report isauthored by MESM students and has been reviewed and approved by:Professor Jeff DozierApril 2001Dean Dennis Aigner
DEDICATIONWhen we first embarked on this project, we had no real inkling of the complexities ofthe organism that is UCSB. Like most students, we were unaware of the tremendousamount of equipment and resources required to make the campus run. Nor did wehave any concept of the number of creative and dedicated people who work behindthe scenes to bring the campus to life. In many ways the real work involved inmaking a sustainable campus will rest on their shoulders, and will come from theirhearts. We are indebted to them for all of their patient help with our research for thisproject, and for the jobs they do everyday to make our education possible. It is tothem that we dedicate this report.iii
