Sustainability Statement

At the Thompson Earth Systems Institute, we are committed to reducing our negative impact on Florida and the planet. We strive to use the latest science to develop Institute policies that support a sustainable and healthy future. As part of our organizational culture, our commitments to sustainability include:

• Minimizing our use of paper and recycling any necessary paper materials
• Utilizing reusable or compostable dishware and utensils during catered events
• Encouraging walking, biking, public transportation, and carpooling to meetings and events
• Selecting promotional items that serve a necessary function and that are made from sustainable materials
• Hosting virtual meetings when possible rather than meetings that require travel
• Encouraging our partners and collaborators to practice sustainability
