Princeton University has been recognized by the state of New Jersey for the University’s ongoing sustainability efforts, in particular its work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy across campus.

The annual Governor’s Environmental Excellence Awards, which were announced at a ceremony in Trenton on Jan. 28, recognize environmental, academic, business, science and civic leaders from across New Jersey for protecting and enhancing the state’s environment. Princeton was one of 11 winners this year, taking honors in the clean air category.
