Campus Sustainability Collegiate Affiliate Program

Collegiate Affiliate Program (CAP)

The Collegiate Affiliate Program (CAP), open to all 2 and 4 year universities and colleges, provides an opportunity to recognize existing campus efforts to reduce and eliminate waste, improve and enhance beautification and document community volunteer inititiaves to end littering, improve waste reduction and beautify campuses. The program is designed to raise awareness about the environment through activities of each school’s choosing. KCB believes that the knowledge and experience obtained in college shapes not only the future of students, but of the world as well. Ideas and practices adopted in the collegiate setting continue well past graduation. To encourage and support environmental stewardship, KCB has begun partnering with universities to teach students about the role that sustainable practices have in creating a positive future for California.
