Campus Environmental Center

Valuing the growth of a genuine culture of sustainability, the Campus Environmental Center’s mission is to engage the UT community in reducing the negative environmental impacts of our operations as a campus, local, and global community through collaborative and constructive means.

Description:
These are our long-term goals:

1. to collaborate with University of Texas entities and off-campus partners to foster change in policy and practice toward a more sustainable campus;
2. to educate the student body and larger university community about sustainability and environmental issues;
3. to develop knowledgeable and skilled student leaders through direct participation in Campus Environmental Center projects and programs.
   
   

We have many different committees that people can participate in. They are:
= EcoReps educate dorm residents to live green
= Events and Publicity plans CEC events
= Food makes eating at UT greener
= Gardening runs on-campus gardens
= Green Living education
= Orange Bike Project
= Recycling Task Force
= Trash to Treasure
= Students for a Sustainable Campus through
greenbuilding, transportation, and climate action
= Recruitment & Socials
= Green Greeks

Within these committees we run many different programs, such as Trash to Treasure, the Residence Hall Energy Challenge, and ink, plastic, and aluminum recycling. The best way to learn about the Campus Environmental Center is to go to our website and look at everything.
