Bates College is committed to sustainability. We're building a sustainable community through outreach and education on important issues like climate change, resource valuation, and conservation. We're providing the tools faculty, staff, and students need to reduce our environmental footprint by conserving energy, promoting renewable energy, alternative transportation, recycling, and green procurement.

• Bates awarded a "Top Ten" Green Rating by the Princeton Review and EcoAmerica
