Sustainability Exchange

The Sustainable Flowers Initiative, led by Professor Suzanne Langlois of Arts & Sciences, aimed to shift the supply chain of floral arrangements on campus from depending upon resource-intensive, chemical-heavy international suppliers. Students developed a strategy for working collaboratively with campus event organizers, local floral suppliers, and WU Grounds & Maintenance to make floral arrangements more sustainable.
