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!

Although Halloween is just around the corner, UW Sustainability has been meticulously organizing their own series of events – without the "tricks," and pumpkins guts.
It's jolly good time for the UW's first Tweed Ride A Tweed Ride? Why, the concept is simple. Attire yourself in something timeless and tweedy and then tour around our rustic campus by bicycle. Join us for a unique mid-day sojourn which should not be missed! We will stop in select places to admire the finest campus buildings, enjoy sipping hot chocolate, hear tales of the past, and make photographs of our dapper cohort. Meet on the southern face of Hansee Hall just before noon on Thursday, October 15.
This Tuesday, UW Sustainability co-hosts Seattle GreenDrinks along with the UW Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, the Alaska Airlines Environmental Innovation Challenge, UW Surplus, UW Professional and Continuing Education, and UW Bothell's School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
