Apply to be a Conservation Advocate!
Apply to be a Conservation Advocate with UVa Sustainability! We need CAs for all first-year dorms and as many upper-class dorms as possible, so if you live on-Grounds, you can apply! CAs meet with us every other week, and educate their residents on sustainability issues throughout the school year. See link for more information, and the application.
Conservation Advocate Application 2009-2010
Overview and History
UVA Recycling first implemented the Recycling
Coordinator Program in the fall of 2000. It is now called the
"Conservation Advocacy Program" in order to emphasize that other
conservation and sustainability issues are addressed beyond
recycling. The Conservation Advocates (CAs) are selected by UVA
Sustainability. There is a CA for each first-year residence hall and many
upperclass housing areas.
CAs serve as liaisons between the
student body and UVA Sustainability. They attend the weekly House or Area
Council meetings held in their residence in order to disseminate
information and announcements from UVA Sustainability, as well as to
collect concerns and questions regarding recycling and conservation
issues from their fellow residents. Additionally, CAs are
responsible for monitoring the use of 2-sort recycling bins in their
dorms, making sure that they are being used and emptied properly. They also attend bi-weekly
meetings held with the UVA Sustainability Outreach Coordinator.
CAs are
involved with several University conservation
outreach events and programs throughout the school year. These
events include contests and educational efforts for America Recycles
Day and Earth Day, as well as UVA Sustainability programs such as "Chuck
It For Charity," Claim your Can contest, and the Dorm Energy Challenge.
CAs also spend a few hours each semester working at
the UVA Recycling 'back site'. They help to sort the material that
their peers have tossed into the recycling bins and, in the process,
gain a better understanding of the continued need for recycling
education on grounds.

feel free to contact your Conservation Advocate with recycling and
sustainability concerns.
