Georgetown's Office of Sustainability Recognized by EPA

Georgetown University's new Office of Sustainability was one of four entities nationwide named by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Green Power Partner of the Year.

Georgetown was noted in particular for purchasing about 113 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy and for establishing the Solar Street renewable energy project.

“Our use of green power has been growing over the past few years as sustainability and clean energy have become an even stronger value and critical part of our sustainability effort, and EPA has recognized us along the way,” says Audrey Stewart, director of the sustainability office, in a press release.

The three other winners are Cisco Systems, Inc., the Microsoft Corporation and Ohio State University.
