Recycling is one of the simplest and most effective ways to be more “green.” If you live on campus, ask your RA about the nearest plastic, glass, and paper recycling locations.
Or use these maps to find recycling locations near you:

Join a GSC Campaign:
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!
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.
