Sustainability Initiative at Aquinas College
Get Involved!
Aquinas College offers countless opportunities to learn about sustainability and the basics of living a sustainable lifestyle. Below are just a few of our sustainability initiatives. #BeaSustainableSaint
Zero Waste Initiative
Make it a priority to choose Zero Waste every time you are at the crossroads (compost
or recycling?!). Get informed and then jump to action!
Urban Forest Initiative
Help us improve the health of the Aquinas College woodlands by removing invasive species,
planting trees, and more.
Re-Think Transportation
Learn how to use the Grand Rapids bus system, view routes from AQ to popular destinations
in the city, learn about bike rental programs and much more.
Volunteer in the AQ Community Garden!
Volunteer in the summer for our AQ community garden! Come on out to the garden located
east of the AMC to help with planting day, harvesting day, or become a regular volunteer!
If interested, please contact Jessica Eimer Bowen.
Green Revolving Fund
Learn about or submit a proposal to our Green Revolving Fund, a sustainable investment
mechanism that helps us complete energy-reducing projects on-campus.
Tree Map
Our campus tree guide is available online! Visit this website for a full list of tree
species on campus. Each tree has a description and is part of an interactive map that
makes it easy to find whatever species you're looking for.
