About Planet Blue Operations Teams.

Planet Blue Operations Teams represent a campus-wide educational and outreach campaign with a mission to:

Actively engage the University of Michigan community to conserve utilities and
increase recycling thereby saving money and benefiting the environment.

The Planet Blue Operations Teams are part of the Environmental and Energy Initiative (EEI), an outcome of the President’s Environmental Task Force. The EEI is a six-point initiative that seeks to make the campus more sustainable in the wake of rising energy costs, climate change concerns, and depleting resources. The six elements of the EEI are:

• Annual Sustainability Report
• Alternative energy
• Alternative transportation
• Green purchasing
• Sustainable new construction/renovation
• Planet Blue Operations Teams

The University has been working for the past three decades to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings. Now, we invite you to work with us in conserving energy, increasing recycling, and protecting our environment. In coming months, Planet Blue Operations Teams members will work with you and your colleagues to identify additional opportunities for energy conservation and recycling in your building.
