Join the Hoosier Commuter Club!

Motor vehicles produce more than 30% of US carbon dioxide emissions, more than 80% of carbon monoxide, and about half of the nation’s nitrogen oxide emissions each year. Be rewarded for being a sustainable commuter. Join the Hoosier Commuter Club, and you'll join hundreds of IU Bloomington individuals who care about their health and the environment, and who help the university reduce peak-hour commute trips – a critical component in the campus master plan. There are many benefits to joining the HOCC, check them out at https://transportation.indiana.edu/hoosier-commuter-club/index.html

Bike Racks

Not only is regular cycling beneficial for the environment, it also has a positive impact on human health. Cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases. It also strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels.

There are over 100 bicycle racks available throughout IU’s campus that are first come first served and the Ballantine Bike Hub. Located on the northeast corner of Ballantine Hall, the hub provides indoor space for over 100 bicycles, two bike repair stations, and a bike parts vending machine. The hub is accessible 24/7 to students, faculty, and staff with a valid CrimsonCard

Dining

IU dining does multiple things to make food more sustainable and accessible to students.

Mission Statement: As an organization we believe we have an ethical duty to positively impact our current community and future generations. We are actively engaged in making food available to all community members and taking measures to conserve and protect future resources.

Tangible sustainable actions

Use carry-out materials that are compostable.

Have removed trays to reduce our consumption of chemicals, electricity, and water.

Use dishes and silverware to reduce refuse in our landfills.

Open the “all-you-care-to-eat” locations that are proven to produce less food waste and are more accessible

We are using sustainable food sources, by sourcing food locally.

Trayless Dining- can elaborate if needed

IU is devoted to sustainable building design. To carry out this promise, the University is committed to building and renovating healthier, less wasteful, energy efficient buildings in which to learn, work, and live. Discover current and future LEED buildings and read the Integrated Energy Master Plan.

This section needs to be fleshed out a bit more. Includes tours that people can make and possibly a link to the video production project.

Hilltop Gardens

Hilltop Garden & Nature Center was first established by IU Biology Professor, Barbara Shalucha in 1948. Hilltop has primarily focused on youth gardening but has expanded its reach throughout the University and surrounding community to provide opportunities to learn about different gardening practices and connecting with nature. Hilltop provides many educational opportunities for students through various internships and work study programs. Hilltop has also provided gardening classes for adults and volunteer opportunities. Visitors are always welcome at Hilltop to tour our demonstration gardens, enjoy nature or find a good idea for their garden. Find them at 2367 E 10th St, Bloomington, IN 47408.

Campus Farm

The property includes 10 agricultural acres, a late 1800’s farmhouse, and four historic barns. Produce from the farm is distributed through three primary channels: to students through Crimson Cupboard and Campus Kitchen, direct to consumers via a twice-weekly farm stand, and to the area's food insecure population through donations to local food pantry, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard. They are focused on developing the tillable acreage of the property into productive, fertile vegetable ground, as well as working to establish additional orchards. We are currently using high tunnels for food research, teaching, and production.
