The annual 20 Minute Makeover is happening again on the University of Waterloo campus! For Earth Month 2018, help to make our campus cleaner by grabbing a bag, gloves, and a couple friends to pick up garbage on campus!

The City of Waterloo is generously hosting this event across the City to help clean-up our natural environment.

Notes for the event:

Energy permeates everything we do. From our purchases to our mobility to our homes and workplaces, it is the foundation of a modern economy. But our relationship to energy is changing, caught between technological development, urgent need for climate action, and concern over economic competitiveness.

Curious about how to save on your hydro bill, conserve energy in your home and make your home more comfortable? Come join the Sustainability Office as we host REEP Green Solutions for a discussion of home energy efficiency.

Ever wondered how your club or society could collaborate with others who are interested in similar topics?

If you’re looking for a simple way to stay engaged with sustainability on campus, consider taking part in the Sustainable Campus Photo Contest. All students, staff, and faculty can participate in this contest, which requires you to submit a picture of on-campus sustainability initiatives, projects or events. All entries will be judged on different components and the top three entries will receive a prize.

Calling all Social Entrepreneurs: share your ideas at the Enviro-preneurship Pitch Contest!

Come out to meet and network with sustainability-minded organizations and groups from on and off campus.

Join us for a week of activities to reduce waste in the office, in the classroom, and at home. Follow the fun using the hashtag #UWWasteWeek
