Energy for a Sustainable Future
Many of us at UNH are familiar with the University's sustainability initiative. That initiative involves much more than just energy issues. For more information on the sustainability initiative contact the Office of Sustainability Programs in Room 206 Nesmith Hall (Email: sustainability.programs@unh.edu).
One way to define sustainability is that our energy use 1) will not use natural resources faster than they can be naturally replenished, 2) will not create waste faster than it can be safely assimilated into a natural cycle, and 3) will allow for the distribution of energy resources in a fair and equitable manner.
Three areas where we can most readily demonstrate sustainable energy practices are energy conserving behaviors, utilization of energy efficient technology, and selection of sustainable energy sources.

The Sustainability Building Representatives are a UNH campus group working on a variety of sustainability issues.
