This project funds the installation of five water bottle refill stations to slash single-use plastic consumption and the acquisition of two electric &#8220;Gator&#8221; utility vehicles to replace aging gas-powered models, reducing scope 1 emissions. Additionally, the project introduces specialized recycling transport carts to streamline waste diversion during games and events, resolving logistical bottlenecks that previously hindered zero-waste efforts. By integrating these upgrades, Athletics is reducing its environmental footprint while engaging thousands of visitors in a visible culture of sustainability.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-uncropped-large wp-image-5331\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-401x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-401x600.jpg 401w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-768x1150.jpg 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/pexels-anete-lusina-4792509-scaled.jpg 1709w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Brynn Katz and Kylie Vetere<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Andy Bourget and Connor Ross<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">5\/2\/2024<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">$69,957.19<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">NA<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/03\/Grounds-Equipment-Electrification-Phase-2-Approval-Proposal.docx-1.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2198,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5449","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5449"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5451,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5449\/revisions\/5451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
