Are you Carolina Green?

“Green” has come to represent a worldwide movement towards creating a more sustainable future. With dozens of ground-breaking programs in academics, research, engagement, and campus operations, Carolina is at the forefront of that movement. Carolina Green is an inter-departmental campaign to identify and promote university programs that support a healthy and responsible approach to the “green” issues of environmental integrity, economic prosperity and social equity.

Carolina Green offers an online directory of university resources, a range of committees working to improve campus practices, and resources to help individuals and departments have a “greener” impact on their world.

Also now available is the "Carolina Green Commitment" - a campus-wide pledge drive that encourages sustainable practices and choices. Are you Carolina Green?

P.S. - This glorified slide show took most of my day to put together. If there is a journalism/communications student out there who would like to work on producing more in-depth, professionally produced shorts about sustainability at UNC, drop us a line! We would love to sponsor an internship and/or capstone project!
