Global warming, climate change and plastic pollution are issues few of us notice in our day-to-day routines. Yet, a glance at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Global Warming of 1.5 ºC report shows the impact of our habits is becoming self-evident. Glacial melt is causing sea levels to rise to unprecedented levels, putting coastal regions at risk of flooding. Freshwater supplies are running low, leaving cities across the world on the verge of running dry, while carbon dioxide levels are higher than they’ve been at any time in the last 800,000 years. In recent times, university campuses and student groups have turned their attention to becoming more environmentally-friendly. From reducing consumption of paper and plastic through to better reuse and recycling initiatives, it’s clear the younger generation is taking sustainability seriously. There’s more than one method to measure campus sustainability. The UI Green Metric Ranking is an internationally recognized sustainability index developed by the University of Indonesia. It calculates a university’s green credentials based on performance in six categories, spanning setting and infrastructure; energy and climate change; waste; water use; transportation; and education. The calculations use self-reported data backed up by photographs, documents and web pages — and several Australian universities participate in the system to benchmark their performance. Campus-wide initiatives are a key part of making universities more sustainable. However, individuals can make a difference too, provided they know what to do.
