Sustainable UNE

Join UNE's Office of Sustainability and Grounds Department at noon today to build a community garden on the Portland Campus for Health Sciences. We will gather at 788 Stevens Ave. to fill the raised beds and discuss how the garden will operate for the summer.

🎉 Congratulations to UNE’s Health Promotion Studies department for achieving Green Office Certification – Level 2! 🌿

This recognition reflects the department’s commitment to making everyday office practices more sustainable through energy conservation, waste reduction, and community engagement.

A special shoutout to Ali Engemann, who helped lead the certification process alongside faculty and staff. Through their efforts, the team installed a new battery recycling station, improved signage, participated in Earth Month events, visited the Swap Shop, and nearly completed every available energy conservation action on the checklist.

Their success shows that small changes can make a big impact. Thank you, Health Promotion Studies, for helping build a more sustainable UNE community! 💚♻️
