Navitas is proud to support Campus Sustainability Month throughout October at our public and private colleges and universities. This annual event, hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), celebrates higher education sustainability achievements while raising awareness of the value of sustainability in higher education. It is an on-going effort for all of us to become better stewards of our resources.
Throughout the month of October, colleges and universities across the country are organizing events on campus to engage and inspire students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders to become sustainability change agents.
If you are looking for ideas on how you can participate, check out the AASHE website. Some of the things they suggest are teach-ins, sustainability pledge drives, zero-energy concerts, waste audits, green sporting events, letter writing campaigns, and service projects.
We encourage you to talk with your peers to get additional ideas on how to participate and to also share your own success stories.
