Are you doing the MassCommute Bike Challenge?
Massachusetts joins the rest of the nation this week in celebrating “human-powered, two-wheeled transportation” with Bay State Bike Week. From May 11-19 (Sunday), you can attend a bike event in your area or register to bike with the Tufts University team for the MassCommute Bike Challenge.
Like last year, we are giving away an official MassCommute Bike Challenge t-shirt for the person who logs the most commuting miles on our team. Whether you bike for work or pleasure, you can log your miles to win daily prizes from MassCommute.

Sustainability Council Report released
The Campus Sustainability Council convened by President Tony Monaco in January 2012 has released a report outlining its recommendations to reduce the university’s environmental footprint.
The Council’s report renews Tufts’ commitments to greenhouse gas reduction goals and sets new ones focused on controlling emissions, waste reduction, and water conservation – areas where Tufts’ operations have the greatest impact on the environment.
This document will be the starting point for the next phase in the process: implementation planning, which will be overseen by Vice President of Operations Linda Snyder. The Council, co-chaired by President Monaco and Executive Vice President Patricia Campbell, was comprised of students, staff and faculty representing all Tufts campuses in Massachusetts.

When implementation planning gets underway, we are counting on the Tufts community to stay engaged and participate in creating the change needed to build a sustainable university.
Come visit the Office of Sustainability on campus!
We are located in the back of Miller Hall, across the parking lot from Hillel. We share a space with the Tufts Institute of the Environment and Environmental Studies Program.
