In 2008, Harvard University adopted a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30% below a 2006 baseline by 2016, including growth. As part of this goal, Harvard is committed to using its campus as a living laboratory, turning research and teaching into action to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions that reduce energy and curb greenhouse gas emissions. In April 2011, Harvard announced a 10.4% decline in the University’s overall GHG Emissions since Fiscal Year 2006, including approximately three million square feet of growth, from a Fiscal Year 2006 baseline. Much of this growth was energy intensive laboratory space. Excluding growth, emissions from baseline buildings have dropped by 20.3%, reflecting both energy efficiency upgrades and occupant behavior change.

The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology is committed to doing our part to help Harvard University meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal. As a part of our efforts, the OEB Green Team was formed in 2008 and meets every other month to tackle projects including energy awareness, recycling outreach, procurement best practices, the Harvard “Green Office” program, and how to make our labs more sustainable.
