Welcome to Go Green
The weekly green:
(A weekly dose environmental friendliness!)
Eating meat consumes a lot of oil. Thus this weeks tip is to reduced the meat in your diet. With a friend, record how many meals with meat (beef, chicken, pork, etc.) you eat per week. Then both of you pledge to eat one less meat meal a week. From fossil fuels, to forest and rainforest deforestation, to water pollution, usage, and the destruction of the ocean, the amount of meat we consume negatively affects the environment.
The Go Green website provides information and resources to University of Iowa students, faculty and staff, and members of the larger community. This site helps meet community needs because it:
- builds awareness of environmental projects and initiatives in the local community (both on and off campus);
- provides a calendar of events and opportunities in the local community related to environmental issues and concerns;
- provides useful web-based resources related to environmental issues and concerns; and
- increases visibility of UI sustainability.
Content contributions and suggestions related to any of the main GoGreen links are always welcomed! They should be submitted to the Civic Engagement Program: civic-engagement@uiowa.edu.
The Go Green website is expected to change and grow as content is contributed and updated so visit it often and see what's new!
This website is maintained by The University of Iowa Civic Engagement Program.
It is a feature of the Civic Engagement Program's theme:
Environmental Impact...Go Green Iowa!
