Through an education- and action-focused curriculum, the Eco-Ambassador (EA) program provides participants with the resources, skills, and knowledge necessary to effect change, serve as leaders, and promote sustainable behaviors both in their offices and in the larger Tufts community.
At the Sustainability Champion Ceremony, Eco-Ambassadors who have recently completed Eco-Ambassador training receive their certificate of achievement. All Eco-Ambassadors are recognized and welcome to attend this event.
The Green Office Certification program supports, promotes, and recognizes offices that are engaging in sustainable practices. Offices may achieve certification based on the score they receive on a checklist of green office criteria, which can be found on the program's webpage.
There are 4 levels of certification: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These levels are based on how much of the criteria an office completed, allowing offices to be recognized for their current conservation efforts while still providing offices with a goal to work toward.
Each year, those who participate and get certification during the Green Office Certification Challenge receive their certificate at the ceremony.
This award recognizes Tufts students or employees who go above and beyond what their traditional responsibilities might be in order to help make Tufts more sustainable.
