Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE), now titled Enactus (ENtrepreneurial-ACTion-US), is an entrepreneurial group at the University of Arkansas. Enactus has a "Green Team" that undertakes sustainable entrepreneurial endeavors, such as replacing custodial spray bottles with old coca cola or pepsi bottles to reduce the purchase and use of new plastic bottles.
