Come to Karma Cream for some delicious ice cream, music and hanging out with your favorite people! We have invited groups such as EnVeg and Campus Kitchens to join us so that we might all get to know each other a little better 
We’ll be collecting reclaimed paper that’s only printed on one side (you can find it in any of the recycling bins in on-campus buildings) for our recycled notebook project, as well as collections to put towards disaster relief in Haiti, so bring both!
We hope to see you there!

Come out and help to keep your campus beautiful this Sunday!
We will be cleaning up the Graham Woods area, including Stadium Road, Keys Residential Complex, Flavet Field, and the Graham Residental Area.
We will meet at 1 PM at the picnic tables in the Graham Residental Area and split into teams.
Come ready to clean, and we will provide the rest. We’ll have yummy snacks for you all after the cleanup! Make a difference on campus while enjoying the company of your fellow GSC members!
Join a GSC Campaign:
The Student Green Energy Fund is a grassroots, student-led initiative to give students in Florida's public universities the option to create a fund for energy efficiency and clean energy improvements on campus.
After passing a referendum on the student ballot by 78 percent in 2007, University President Machen has supported the Green Fund and the Board of Trustees has approved it as well. We are currently working with students at UCF, FSU, FAMU, USF, FIU and FGCU to pass a bill in the state legislature that would permit individual universities to implement Student Green Energy Funds. Learn more on the Student Green Energy Fund website.
GSC gives campus-wide sustainability presentations that consist of a PowerPoint and Q & A, covering questions such as "What is sustainability?", "What are we doing to promote it?" and "What can I do to help?"
Parents at J.J. Finley Elementary were concerned about waste at the school, so they've asked for our help to develop a recycling plan and a more sustainable lunch program. The school hopes to serve as a model for other public schools in Alachua County.
The Green Team leads the Tail-Gator Recycling Program, a volunteer-oriented mission to provide recycling services to on- and off-campus tailgates at all home football games.
Help us campaign to raise awareness about the impact our consumption habits have on the planet.
GSC participates in the annual RecycleMania, challenging schools around the country in a competition to increase on-campus recycling.
Our Food Systems task force works to raise awareness about local and organic food issues. We maintain an organic garden plot at the UF Organic Garden Co-op.
