Sustainability Action Plan
Fort Lewis began creating a Sustainability Action Plan in 2007 with its first-ever Sustainability Assessment and Greenhouse Gas Inventory. The assessment allowed the campus to begin a planning process, gathering ideas from across campus and contacting other institutions to understand what the College could achieve in the next five years. To read more about the planning process, visit the campus sustainability section of the Environmental Center’s website. Pathways to Sustainability is seeking feedback and comments on the current draft of the plan before submitting it to the President for approval in December.

(Note: Where “Low” and “High” targets exist, the College is seeking additional input on which are most appropriate given cost and staffing implications.)
