Welcome to the Student Affairs Sustainability "Green Behind the Ears" site. Student Affairs is dedicated to creating and enhancing the Illinois Experience for students on the Urbana-Champaign campus, and doing it in a 'big, green way.' We're continously updating our facilities with eco-friendly amenities; changing our old habits; and becoming more aware of our own carbon footprint. In the process we hope to educate our staff as well as our students, so that we can all become better stewards for our mothership: earth.
This blog has been created initially for the use of the Sustainability Committee, but it is our hope to be able to go 'live' with it at some point in time. We hope to create a better awareness of user-friendly green practices that we can share, pass and improve upon. This is just the start of what we hope will be a fruitful, and ever-growing greenscape on the Illinois campus.
