The UF Office of Sustainability has just released the 3rd Edition of their handy “Green Guide”, a resource for UF students that contains a variety of information on sustainable living. In the Guide, students can find tips on everything from conserving energy to sustainable eating, along with lots of fun facts about our campus and community. You can download a PDF version of the Guide here as well as the Green Guide posters at the Sustainable UF resource center. Check it out!

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.

Is there somewhere I can pick up a Green Guide? I want to post it in our department but when I print it, it looks terrible. Thanks.
