A brief description of the campaign:
Through this initiative which is housed within the the Office of Sustainability and works with the Environmental Stewardship Committee, we are trying to show students, staff, faculty and the surrounding communities what “green” practices the University of Alabama is involved in. We are also trying to provide information and connections between student groups and other “green” projects on campus. The Go Green website serves as blog, news source, providing event information, highlighting green projects, activities, educational opportunities, and recycling facts and instructions. The Sustainability Day provides events and information all over campus increase student,staff, and faculty awareness of the recycling program, composting programs, sustainable food and purchasing of Bama Dining, as well as providing data of waste produced on campus.
