Uncategorized • Mar 18 • Click to comment

We all know that it’s good to put our cans and bottles in the recycling bin, but recycling is so much more than that! Nearly everything can be recycled–it just takes a bit of creativity…

In conjunction with Recyclemania (recyclemaniacs.org) and Gators Going Green, Gators for a Sustainable Campus and Campus Kitchens UF will be holding a recycling drive that encourages you to think differently about recycling! The drive will be held in the Plaza of the Americas from 10am-3pm from March 23 to March 25th. We will be collecting the following:

-Nonperishable extra canned/dry goods

-Clean, unwanted used clothing

Help us prove that UF is #1 in recycling in all areas! For more info, email us at sustainablegators@gmail.com

Gators for a Sustainable Campus on Facebook

Join a GSC Campaign:

Student Green Energy Fund

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.

Sustainability Outreach

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?"

Greening Local Schools

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

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.

Consumption Reduction

Help us campaign to raise awareness about the impact our consumption habits have on the planet.

Recycling

GSC participates in the annual RecycleMania, challenging schools around the country in a competition to increase on-campus recycling.

Food Systems

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.
