SUSTAIN SU Name Change Poster

The goal of my community service learning placement with SUSTAIN SU is to use social media to make the university community aware that the student group formerly known as ECOS is now SUSTAIN SU. With a name change comes a broader concept of sustainability, including social, economic and environmnetal issues.

I created a poster that can be used to inform everyone of the name change and changes to SUSTAIN SU.

I just finished my first hour of community service learning with SUSTAIN SU! My first activity was taking the dishes from our Reusable Dish Program to Dewey's to be washed. The dish program lends dishes to events on campus to reduce waste. I then read over the ECOS Redevelopment Proposal which lists the changes that will be made in reformatting ECOS to SUSTAIN SU. The new goal is to divide decision making between more students and in doing so provide peer-to-peer learning while providing sustainability-based services to the campus.
Next week I look forward to updating the Facebook and Twitter page, as well as planning Party with a Purpose, which is a concert powered by people riding stationary bikes on Oct 22 at 8:00 pm at Dinwoodie Lounge. Tickets will be sold online and around campus starting Oct 10. For more info go to http://www.sustainability.ualberta.ca/Events/UpcomingEvents.aspx
