Think green at RMIT

RMIT University is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and providing a safe and "green" university for students and staff.

RMIT is fostering a "think green" culture within the University community and beyond and encourages staff, students and the general public to make changes in their day-to-day lives, both at work and at home, to minimise their impact on the environment.

• ATN greenhouse gas reduction target of 25% by 2020, based on 2007 levels
• We need to save approximately 175kg CO2-e per student to reach the 2020 target.
