As an incoming graduate student, you are about to
embark on an exciting journey as a Blue Devil. While
bleeding blue, however, it is important not to lose
sight of all that is green.
Duke is an impressively green university; we will be
carbon-neutral by 2024 (which, dear Duke fans, is
26 years ahead of UNC). We recycle, conserve energy
and water through various projects, rent bikes, support
local farms, celebrate Earth Day you get the picture.
We need YOUR participation to fully achieve our
sustainability goals as a university even though most
of you will never live on campus as a graduate
student, your actions and choices affect our school
and the surrounding Durham area. This Green Book
Grad Style provides you with important info on how to
do your part while attending Duke. Thanks for doing
your part to support this important mission!
