Read about some of Saint Xavier's many green initiatives on Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn's Web site for the Illinois Sustainable University Compact. SXU is a member of the compact, which outlines 12 environmental goals universities and community colleges may adopt on their campuses.
The Compact includes objectives such as purchasing renewable energy, implementing green building practices, developing sustainable transportation options, improving water conservation, and incorporating sustainable dining practices.
Lt. Governor Quinn has invited institutions of higher education across the state to identify and accomplish attainable environmental goals by 2010.
