Introduction
We know Penn students take actions every day to live sustainably! The
Green Living Certification aims to recognize that impact, and to reward students for helping Penn achieve its climate goals. The following survey should take about 5 minutes to complete.
Undergraduates and graduate students are eligible to take this survey, whether you live on- or off-campus. You can also re-take this survey every year!
Instructions
Fill out the following survey in accordance with your actions. All students who are certified receive a Green Living sticker according to their certification level. Each level of certification gives you additional entry into raffles throughout the school year to win fun, REUSABLE prizes like water bottles, tote bags, and reusable straws. Be sure to fill out your contact info at the end so we can get you your prizes!
Certification Levels
- BRONZE certification (1 raffle entry) - you must achieve all the prerequisites, and at least 10 actions.
- SILVER certification (2 raffle entries) - you must achieve all the prerequisites, and at least 20 actions.
- GOLD certification (3 raffle entries) - you must achieve all the prerequisites, at least 20 actions, and complete all BONUS questions.
We understand that not all actions will be applicable for each participant; that's why there are more than enough questions to help you reach the point totals!
Sustainability facts and tips are included alongside the survey questions. These are available on the "Green Living Certification Guide PDF" that you can download after completing the survey.
