1st campaign
A brief description of the campaign:
BYU Sustainability and its partners have hosted Green Week twice per year since 2022. The week-long campaign engages students, faculty, and staff and highlights sustainability resources at BYU, from bikesharing and recycling to community service opportunities. Student employees of the Sustainability Office design a schedule of events, coordinate logistics, advertise on social media, and document each activity. For each campaign, there is a theme such as "we are stewards" or "stand for what you stand on."
See links to events in April 2024, September 2023, March 2023, October 2022, and March 2022.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign:
Green Week in April 2024 included five activities: (1) a mulch-spreading service project with 120 volunteers, (2) a campus booth visited by 200 people, (3) a faculty lecture series attended by 300 people, (4) a mapping service project with 160 volunteers, and (5) a clothing swap lasting nine hours in the heart of campus, where hundreds of pounds of clothes and shoes were diverted from BYU's waste stream.
Past events have included a campus bike ride (60 people), a low-waste luncheon and forum (130 people), a tree-planting activity (40 people), a trivia night (100 people), a "Family Home Evening" discussion of Bishop Caussé's October 2022 general conference talk on earthly stewardship (100 people). While participant counts are helpful for measuring positive impact, BYU Sustainability also tracks partners on and off-campus, service outputs, and subscribers and followers, all of which help raise awareness and support at BYU.
