Going Green

Working with partners across campus and beyond, the Georgia State University Office of Sustainability serves as a hub to create and communicate innovative solutions to our most pressing global challenges. We act as the catalyst for creating a culture of sustainability at GSU through enhancing living-learning laboratory opportunities on campus, exploring techniques to lower our resource use and costs and empowering our students to become global leaders in sustainability.

Football season is here, and we’re looking for volunteers to help us keep our tailgates green!

We’ll be collecting plastic bottles, plastic film, aluminum cans, and cardboard to make sure these materials stay out the landfill.

Volunteers will gain hands-on professional experience in sustainable events while earning volunteer hours.

Shifts are now available for the game this Friday, September 4, and we’ll be posting more shifts as game times get released.

Sign up via Paws for a Cause through the link in our bio, and help us help fans recycle 💙

It’s day seven of !

Today we are highlighting Green Tailgates ♻️

Football tailgates generate a significant amount of recyclable waste, but recycling opportunities in tailgate areas have historically been limited.

Green Tailgates brought recycling stations back to Georgia State football tailgates, making it easier to recycle aluminum cans and introducing a culture of sustainability among fans.

Staffed by Sustainability Initiatives interns and volunteers, the program diverted 157 pounds of recyclable material from landfills during the football season, including 141 pounds of aluminum cans!

Through the Recycle for Good program, the aluminum cans collected were recycled to generate funding for Habitat for Humanity, supporting affordable housing near Georgia State’s Atlanta Campus.

Right now, Sustainability Initiatives is seeking volunteers to help staff the next Green Tailgate this Friday, September 4! You’ll get to learn about sustainable event management, gain professional sustainability experience, and earn volunteer hours.

Multiple shifts will be available for all Georgia State home games this season, so keep an eye out for more opportunities to contribute!

Make sure to come back next Saturday, when we’ll be highlighting another winner of the Campus Sustainability Grant Program! 💙

Today we hosted the Commuter Choices Workshop to hear from students, faculty and staff about alternative commuting options at Georgia State! 🚲

We hosted this workshop to hear feedback regarding Georgia State’s transportation context, travel behaviors and preferences, as well as current and potential practices and mobility strategies!

This feedback will help inform Georgia State’s Commuter Choices Vision and Workplan, which will guide efforts towards improving commuter choice options through programs, policies and infrastructure!

The biggest thank you to everyone who attended the workshop! 💙

We can’t wait to further our efforts in improving commuting choices for the Georgia State community !
