Our Sustainable Approach
By the very nature of online education at American Public University System and
convenient local campus locations at Hondros College of Nursing, we leave a smaller carbon footprint.
Reducing commutes and
remotely accessing our 2,000 globally located instructors clearly puts us on a more sustainable path.
APEI committed early on to making critical environmental investments, heralded initially
in 2012 with the planning and installment of West Virginia’s largest solar array at our headquarters in
Charles Town.
As Dr. Wallace Boston said ten years ago when he first made the commitment to carbon
neutrality: “In 2007 I signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC)
as a charter signatory.
This (environmental) program not only represents our own commitment to sustainability but also illustrates
the
American spirit of ingenuity and innovation in general. It was as much about providing renewable energy for
our university as it was about making a commitment to our local and extended communities that we will
continue
to work to promote a more sustainable future for us all.”
