Sustainability newsletter or social media platform
A brief description of the sustainability newsletter or social media platform:
Oakton's Sustainability Specialist runs a blog "Oakton's Nature" that is shared with employees, students, and community members. We also have an Instagragram page for Oakton Sustainability. We often add Sustainability Blurbs to the School newsletter and maintain an email adress to disseminate Sustainability information with the campus, called "GreenTeam@Oakton.edu". We use this email adress to send out event marketing, sign ups, tips to be green, fun facts about nature, sustainability, etc.
