We are a newly established committee within the GSA. We meet on Mondays at 4:30 pm in the Grad Lounge. Our goal is to coordinate with EcoHusky and improve the environmental impact of UConn in general - but the thing we want to start with is improving our own department!
Our current agenda:
- in cooperation with the T-shirt committee: EEB tote bags. check out the logo contest!
- audit of energy consumption for our buildings
- promoting public transportation and biking instead of driving
- promoting recycling and using reusable utensils
- putting a composting bucket in the grad lounge (people from EcoGarden have agreed to take our compostables)
- ...
Things YOU can do TODAY:
- Print and copy on both sides of the page
- Recycle all plastics labeled 1-7 in departmental bins
- Take the stairs, not the elevator
- Ride the bus/carpool
