Green Your Game
Throughout the Fall semester, colleges and universities across the nation get rowdy for the Football season. From tailgating to after parties, the amount of waste generated — especially some of the largest universities in the nation — is unimaginable and completely unsustainable.
After surveying the tailgates at UCF and PSU, noticing the majority of the waste generated was aluminum cans, glass bottles, and paper; we decided to come together with a plan to minimize our universities impact on the environment.
The “Green Your Game” initiative is designed as a waste reduction plan for a home football game and a method to engage students through an initiative focused on reducing our environmental impact. Other benefits include reporting the amount of waste generated and recycled throughout each game.
