About the Commission

Formed in Fall 2008, the Chancellor's Commission on Environmental Sustainability is a faculty, staff, and student committee formed to develop and recommend to the Chancellor, and to other members of the administration where appropriate, environmentally responsible practices and policies, to communicate the environmental and ecological implications of University policies and decisions, and to develop and recommend programs designed to educate the UNL community about environmentally and ecologically responsible practices.

Furthering our commitment to use resources wisely, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln announces the launch of an Energy Usage Calculator.

The Chancellor's Commission on Sustainability and the Office of University Communications have built this tool to help add up your current usage, figure out where you can reduce your energy use, and help you let your office friends know what you are doing to help the Big Red go green.
