A month-long tabling campaign to educate students and employees on sustainability. Week 1 involved collecting pledges from the campus community on actions that would reduce their carbon footprint.

There was also a Day of Service in the campus native gardens that week to perform weeding and pruning maintenance. Week 4 was an educational quiz tabling where students could answer questions on energy, water, and recycling. Week 5 consisted of an Open House event/trick or treat tour of the energy features of the Central Plant where 90% of the heating and cooling on campus is supplied.
