Sustainability

From its inception as a land-grant institution in 1876 to the additional sea-grant and space-grant designations, Texas A&M University has been a leader in research and education for how we interact with - and impact - our environment.  In March 2008, The Office of Sustainability was founded to enhance these efforts by creating a culture of sustainability in Aggieland.

We work to respect, protect, and preserve the financial, environmental, and people resources that make Texas A&M and our community so great, not only for today, but also for future generations of Aggies.  When Aggies commit to a sustainable lifestyle, we bring Texas A&M's core values to life.

Make sustainability an Aggie Tradition! Look for ways you can think globally, act locally, and shape our future.

If you have questions, suggestions, or would like to schedule a presentation, please email sustainability@tamu.edu. 

Campus Sustainability Day will be held October 24, 2018, from 10 AM to 1 PM in Rudder Plaza. Registration invitations will be sent out around late September. For further details visit our CSD page.
