Hello visitors!

Our office blog went silent when we temporarily suspended the UW-Whitewater Earth Initiative student-led, peer-to-peer marketing campaign, but the Earth Initiative is back and so is this blog!

This time, we’ll be featuring articles and other information about Sustainability Office activities, events, and projects as we move forward, along with content geared toward our campus community on how they can be more sustainable while here and in their daily lives.  Much of our content is geared toward student life, but many concepts are easy enough to apply no matter what your age or educational pursuits.  We will also look at how larger environmental issues affect the Whitewater area and where campus sustainability efforts are moving across the nation by highlighting some interesting best practices and other efforts seen on other campuses worth trying to emulate.

I have not created much content in the past, but will more regularly contribute toward efforts to provide this new information along side our student team, which includes the Sustainability Assistants working with our office as well as marketing students in Creative Marketing Unlimited (CMU), our partners in the UW-Whitewater Earth Initiative campaign.

Stay tuned for content we will also feature in our end of summer newsletter, which includes updates on efforts related to the Campus Garden, and our plans for the new academic year and upcoming fall events.  We look forward to welcoming you all back on campus!

Thanks for visiting,

Wesley Enterline – Sustainability Coordinator
