Welcome to the Sustainable Events Handbook

Compost and recycling stations were piloted at Parents' Weekend 2008.
The University of California at Los Angeles has had remarkable progress in making our campus one of the most sustainable in the nation. Our events are utilizing environmentally friendly vendors and coordinating sustainable services from campus facilities for waste removal. We have developed a recycling plan for large scale campus events and are implementing additional programs to “green” all facets of our event planning processes.
This site can serve as a guide for students, staff and faculty who are hoping to make their events more sustainable. Should you have any questions or need any further assistance, please contact the UCLA Events Office at green@events.ucla.edu.
For information on what UCLA is doing as a campus to promote sustainability, please visit UCLA Sustainability, where you can learn about current policies and practices, as well as our goals for the future.
