Green Space: Seeding Change at UTM
March 8, 2019Held in the CCT Atrium on the University of Mississauga campus, the 2018/2019 Greenwood team hosted our event, Green Space: Seeding Change at UTM, an environmental fair showcasing a number of environmental initiatives available to students on campus. Our goal of creating conversation around the global climate crisis, all while educating the UTM student body on what we can do on campus to live more sustainably was supplemented by partnerships with Free the Children at UTM, Zero Waste UTM and The Riverwood Conservancy. Activities at this event included a clothing swap, opportunity to purchase sustainable goods and a campus sustainability-themed scavenger hosted on our Instagram.
Using the story feature on Instagram, Greenwood asked questions regarding sustainability at the UTM campus. Those who correctly answered each question first were given a prize of a bamoboo cutlery set.
