English term or phrase: environmentally friendly resources
Mil gracias

One of the key ways of doing this is through sustainable waste management which means there are recycling points all over the campus, and the University gets all of its electricity from 100 per cent environmentally friendly resources.

Una de las principales formas para cumplir con este objetivo es implementando prácticas de gestión de residuos, lo que significa que hay puntos de reciclaje en el campus, la Universidad obtiene toda su electricidad del cien por ciento de las fuentes de energía renovable.

fuentes de energía no contaminantes


Explanation:
No pondría renovables porque, dentro de las renovables hay contaminantes y no contaminantes. "Environmentally friendly" implica que no daña el medio ambiente, ao al menos, lo hace pero mínimamente.

Coincido con Melina. Pero quizás suene mejor decir "sustentable" que "no contaminantes"? Es una opción..

disagree  Melina C.M.: Es que sustentable o renovable significa que el recurso no se agota, no quiere decir que no contamine... Un ejemplo: biodiesel (el producto)

La palabra que se utiliza sostenible - = recursos sostenibles.
