Bard Is One of Two Colleges in the US to Be Certified as a National Wildlife Federation Plastics Reduction Partner
Bard is pleased to be one of the first two US colleges certified as a Plastics Reduction Partner by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). The NWF awarded bronze-level certifications to Bard College and California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt, for their efforts to reduce single-use plastics on campus. This certification acknowledges work by the Office of Sustainability, student advocates, and community partners to demonstrate significant action across four broad categories: education and awareness, behavior change, operational change, and institutional change. “Bard students are eager to defeat the monster that plastic has become,” said Laurie Husted, chief sustainability officer at Bard. “Next steps will be to fill some of the gaps we identified, including creating a Green Events Guide in collaboration with our new campus dining partner and continuing advocacy work.”
