UofL Sustainability Council
UofL’s Sustainability Council has been bringing together students, faculty, staff, and community allies since 2008 to pursue a university-wide commitment to integrating sustainability into everything we do – from how we manage our facilities, finances and people to what we teach in the classroom and what we research in the lab. Our vision is to create a university that is itself a living laboratory for sustainability. In this effort, we have long experimented with various strategies for sustainable living and launched sustainability initiatives that have stood the test of time. The UofL Free Store, Garden Commons, & Community Composting Project will be on hand to engage you in a composting & vermicomposting demo, a repurposing/mending/upcycling demo, and a making eco-buttons mini-workshop.
