With more than 7,000 students, 3,500 of which live on campus, Lehigh recognizes the important role that students play in making Lehigh a model sustainable campus.
Through the Sustainable Living Program, a voluntary, self-guided program coordinated by the Eco-Rep Leadership Program, students in residence halls and Greek houses can take the lead in making their living spaces and daily routines more sustainable. They can identify opportunities for innovation and implement sustainable change.
If you are a Lehigh student who is interested in becoming more sustainable, a student who already takes conscious actions to be sustainable, or a student who wants to show that they a leader within the community, you should apply to the Sustainable Living Program! You will be recognized for your leadership and initiative and have the opportunity to learn simple steps to become even more sustainable.
- Fill out either the On-Campus Checklist of Actions or Off-Campus Checklist of Actions and submit it. You must commit to at least the first 10 actions in order to receive any level of certification.
- An Eco-Rep will *schedule a time to review your completed Checklist of Actions with you. The Eco-Rep will award you the appropriate medallion and prize based on the level of certification you achieve.
- You can recertify for a higher level of certification within the same academic year, if desired. You must apply for certification each new academic year since your living situation will change.
*Certifications will be conducted on Zoom if you live off campus.
Depending on the number of action items you are able to complete, your room will receive bronze, silver, gold or platinum Sustainable Living Certification!
