Recycling 1 ton of paper saves 17 trees, 7000 gallons of water, 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space, 2 barrels of oil, enough energy to power a house for 6 months.
Prior to the development of the Office of Energy and Sustainability, Weill Cornell Medicine campus-wide sustainability efforts were managed through the Sustainability Leadership Council. The council was comprised of employees from central administration as well as from clinical departments. The council led sustainability planning and coordinated efforts across departments to reduce waste and conserve energy.
