If you are just starting on your institution's sustainability journey, we generally recommend that you get started focusing on establishing foundational structures (committees, green funds, plans, positions, etc.) that bring more people into the effort and can help guide the long term development of a successful program. It may seem attractive to jump right into projects like installing solar panels and changing lightbulbs, but you'll never be able to move fast enough if you aren't able to bring more people/groups into the effort. Furthermore, doing an assessment - using a tool like STARS<https://nam01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstars.aashe.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cstacy.vandeveer%40umb.edu%7Cd4dd5b0abe0a4f5897d708d7a36b1524%7Cb97188711ee94425953c1ace1373eb38%7C0%7C1%7C637157552638235727&sdata=FllrjtYAQFO%2Fc7Jcf8iKb0wYnD1P8tYyGKbEKmNACB8%3D&reserved=0> (which provides a lot of free resources as well as a paid option) - can be a great place to understand the opportunities available to you.
