What Is Sustainability at UF?Sustainability at UF can be traced to "a grassroots movement of students, faculty and staff from a variety of academic and administrative units." This movement gained momentum when in 1990 President John Lombardi signed the Tallories Declaration, promising to make environmental education and research a central goal in this institution.The purpose of the movement was to increase environmental literacy on campus, examine current practices to reduce environmental impact and to create a culture of environmental stewardship." Be sure and visit the UF Office of Sustainability site for more information.Sustainability LinksENVIRONMENTAL NEWS UF Purchasing Services is proud to have been a First Place winner in the campus-wide Second Annual Carbon Diet Contest held in 2003.
