Sustainability
Looking for an easy way to save energy? ENERGY STAR® qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. In fact, if every home in America replaced just one incandescent light bulb with an ENERGY STAR qualified CFL, enough energy would be saved in one year to light more than 3 million homes. Read More

Since the mid-1990's, Northland's Sunshine Community Bike Shoppe has served as a hub for bike enthusiasts, a template for other campus community bike shops, and a reminder of the potential of bicycles to bring us closer to sustainability. For those eager to build or repair a bike, the shop has tools, parts, and plenty of advice to offer.
Beyond bikes, the Northland College Student Association (NCSA) partners with Bay Area Rural Transit to provide expanded services and free bus passes for students, faculty, and staff. Northland is measuring greenhouse gas emissions from field trips, sporting events, and college-related air travel to develop the best methods to offset this impact. And NCSA provided a new hybrid car for the Admissions Office out of its renewable energy fund.
