What Does a “Green” Designation for U-Med Mean?

The U-Med Green District designation provides our neighboring organizations with opportunities to explore and identify cost-effective sustainability practices we want to advance, and then to achieve these goals by creating collaborations that leverage the District as a whole. Having this designation also provides our employees opportunities to participate in sustainability by working together, learning from each other, and then taking action at their work places. The hope of the Green District is that all of our actions will go beyond our work lives and inspire us to take actions that advance sustainability in our homes and community. Our commitment is for U-Med District organizations to meet on a regular basis to identify activities and priorities and provide periodic reports to our respective organizations as well as to the Municipality and the Anchorage Community on our achievements.
