TreeZero Deepens Commitment To Sustainability
TreeZero Announces Its New Business Membership with AASHE.
- Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) January 07, 2011 - TreeZero has recently become a member of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), an association of colleges and universities working to create a sustainable world. Through its membership in AASHE, TreeZero will be able to better understand and assist higher education institutions in advancing their sustainability initiatives.
"We are extremely fortunate for the opportunity to be a part of such a special association," said Mike Nilan, TreeZero CEO. "Together, AASHE and TreeZero will provide colleges and universities with the resources they need to accomplish their green initiatives."
AASHE enables colleges and universities to meet their sustainability goals by providing specialized resources, professional development, and a network for sharing information about sustainability products and services.
"We are delighted to have TreeZero on board and participating in the campus sustainability community," said Paul Rowland, executive director of AASHE. "Their involvement in AASHE demonstrates a commitment to working with higher education to create a just and sustainable future for all."
Among AASHE's major programs is the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), which provides higher education with a standardized, comprehensive self-assessment instrument. STARS metrics cover every sector of a campus, from planning and administration, to operations, to education and research. With STARS as a guide, institutions can select meaningful and appropriate pathways to sustainability while conserving valuable resources and building healthier communities.
AASHE provides many of its resources free to the public, including a weekly newsletter, AASHE Bulletin, and a set of Campus Sustainability Discussion Forums on nearly 20 different topics. These can all be found in AASHE's online Resource Center.
