Recycling
The University Environmental Coalition
The goal of
the UEC is to foster a sense of community among the green
organizations on grounds, work on original grounds-wide projects,
and become or remain educated and involved in events and causes
other green organizations have planned.
Our current focus is a
collaborative Earth Day presentation, such as an Enviro-fair on the
lawn. We will be holding monthly open-dialogue meetings in Clark.

Student Council Environmental
Sustainability Committee The Committee works to
advocate progress toward a more environmentally-conscious and
sustainable University. We focus on the seven "Management Centers"
outlined by the University Sustainability Assessment (2006): Waste
and Recycling, Landscape and Land Use, Energy, Water, Built
Environment, Transportation, and Dining. We look to collaborate with
existing student efforts and University initiatives on
sustainability, as well as suggest and implement innovative ideas
for a greener U.Va. | | Ben Chrisinger
