Sustainability Guide for Students
With over 50 sustainability-related organizations available to students, multiple guides, and kiosks around grounds, there are plenty of opportunities for students to get involved. As sustainability activities continue to expand, students are presented with the opportunity to quickly find their niche. However, problems arise that may actually prevent further growth of such sustainable activities. With the abundance of events and activities happening, students may feel overwhelmed and become lost amidst the sea of change. Since a single comprehensive guide does not exist, students may become discouraged by these initiatives. While sources such as the UVa Sustainability website do exist, they are only accessed by those who already take an interest in sustainability and do not engage new activists.
