Sean Schmidt takes “going green” to a whole new level.

The centerpiece of the SustainableUW Festival, the sustainability exhibitor fair on Red Square last Wednesday gave thousands of UW students, faculty and staff a look at the sustainability efforts of organizations across the university and the community.

This year, EcoReps is unveiling the Green Greek Representative Program, a brand new outreach program aimed at increasing sustainable operations in the Greek Community. The program is currently run by Kiyomi Morris and Tali Haller, who have been working nonstop for the past couple months to create it.

Help keep Seattle green this Saturday!

The 10th annual Green Seattle Day starts Saturday, Nov. 7, at 9 a.m. in parks throughout Seattle. The event brings together hundreds of volunteers to plant thousands of trees and other plants in parks throughout Seattle. Green Seattle Day is a celebration of the forest that makes this the Emerald City. Help us keep it that way!

The SustainableUW Festival has come to an end, with two big chances to cheer on the Huskies, in athletics and sustainability!

It's been a great week of SustainableUW Festival events, and we've loved seeing everyone get involved with campus sustainability. The festival is winding down, but it's not over yet.

The SustainableUW Festival kicks off day four with volunteering opportunities and a wide variety of seminars and discussions to choose from, along with a careers event and poster session at Odegaard Library in the afternoon.

Day three of the SustainableUW Festival kicks off with cookies, muffins, cupcakes, and plenty of coffee! Pick up some delicious Halloween treats in the lobby of Fishery Sciences and support the Student Environmental Affairs Society, an on-campus group dedicated to actively addressing emerging coastal issues. The Halloween bake sale will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday gets started early at the SustainableUW Festival.

At 8:30 a.m. in Architecture 147, Nicole Faghin of Washington Sea Grant will talk on "Reduc­ing the Impact of Shore­line Devel­op­ment in Puget Sound" as part of the Envi­ron­men­tal Sci­ence and Resource Man­age­ment Sem­i­nar: Water in the Pacific Northwest.

It's the opening day of the SustainableUW Festival!
