Help Waterloo Housing go green!
Students have an incredibly important role to play in making the University of Waterloo a more sustainable campus. To support students in this journey, we've launched a new Green Residence program in partnership with Housing and Residences.
During Fall 2019 and Winter 2020, student ambassadors living in main campus residences will run activities and share information about sustainable living to encourage and empower other students to make more sustainable choices in their daily lives.
Our Green Residence Ambassadors will be running fall term events from September 23 - November 22. Residence students are encouraged to find them at their biweekly booths and take part in activities for a chance to win awesome prizes! See below for a list of when and where activities are taking place!
September 23 - September 27: Take the Shift Zero pledge!
Take the Shift Zero pledge!
Show your support for Waterloo’s goal of becoming a zero waste campus by 2035 by committing to actions to reduce your waste while living in residence. Visit your ambassadors at their booths to take the pledge and collect your door sticker! You'll be entered to win awesome prizes and the first 50 students to sign the pledge will get a free eco-container, generously donated by Food Services!
