It's been six years since I've been in college, and I forgot what it's like to have a summer break, but nevertheless, UL Lafayette classes start back up this coming Monday. In that spirit, I'm featuring the UL Office of Sustainability today. The department is relatively new and came about as the result of a Student Government Association branding effort for a campus-wide recycling program.
The purpose of the Office of Sustainability is to ensure that the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is socially, economically, and environmentally conscious in all its actions. Our values include:Sustainability: We promote sustainable efforts and practices in the everyday lives of students, faculty, staff, and administration to make the campus a more eco-friendly entity of our planet.Engagement: We inspire participation from the students, faculty, staff, and administration in order to fulfill and educate on sustainable efforts and practices.Securing posterity: We value the right of each person to live with the resources they need and ensure that sustainable practices are in place to protect those resources for future generations.
The department has three current initiatives on campus: Geaux RED (campus-wide recycling), Tree Campus USA and Acorns of Hope.
It makes me happy to see my alma mater take an active stand in environmentalism and work to make the campus greener.
And here's to the last weekend before the semester kicks into high gear!
