Report on Sustainability 2009

In 2007-08 and 2008-09, the Office of Sustainability and the Office of Communications collaborated to produce stories and photos for each of 15 issues of the Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW). Here is a sampling of those pieces.

The Office of Communications has further developed many of those PAW pieces into postings for the University home page that also were provided to media and used in the Princeton Weekly Bulletin (faculty/staff newspaper) and newsletters of academic programs. Here is a collection of those postings:
