GSC meeting 1/26

Meetings • Jan 20

Interested in finding out about the Peace Corps? Curious about how you can make recycled notebooks? Looking for a way to be involved?If you said ‘yes’ to any of these questions then GSC’s next meeting at 6:30 in MAEB 211 is for you!

Meeting material will include:

-a presentation on The Peace Corps

-notebook sorting for …our cereal box notebook project

-information on some cool upcoming events

-and, as always, delicious snacks

(Although I was unable to attend last week, I have heard that finding the building is a little tricky. You may want to look it up on a campus map before you come; it will likely be our room for the rest of the semester.)

Gators for a Sustainable Campus on Facebook

Join a GSC Campaign:

Florida Green Fee

The Green Fee referendum, which proposed a 50-cent per credit hour increase to tuition to fund renewable energy and efficiency on campus, passed with 78% of voting students in the spring 2007 student government election.

We worked with students from all around Florida at the Youth, Energy & Sustainability Summit at UF September 22 to make plans for passing the green fee in the state legislature this spring. Go join the Google Group to get in on the campaign!

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.
