Overview

At McMaster, we are taking a holistic approach to sustainability. By investing in our human resources as well as in our environmental resources we can truly improve the sustainability of our campus in the broadest sense.

There are many groups currently established around campus that focus solely on improving the health and wellbeing of staff and students.

A list of resources and a brief overview of each group can be found in the 'Staff & Faculty' and 'Student' links highlighted to the left. If you are interested in learning more about Living Green , there is also a link devoted to just that.
