Common Energy & Sort it Out
There are lots of ways for students to get involved in sustainability at UBC. There are two ways you can get involved immediately:
1. Volunteer with Sort It Out: UBC Campus Sustainability is looking for volunteers to help the campus transition to the new recycling stations. Volunteers will be at the recycling stations during peak morning and noon times, highlighting the benefits of sorting reusable materials and ensuring that people understand what goes into each bin. The time required for each shift will be approximately 2 hours.Volunteers will receive a training session on Monday Sept. 9th from 5-6pm, a Sort it Out T-shirt, and a $20 gift card to the UBC Bookstore.
If you are interested in helping with Sort It Out, please reply sender to me to let me know, and I will put you in touch with the Campus Sustainability staff who are running this program.
2. Join Common Energy UBC: Common Energy is the largest and most active student sustainability organization on campus, and we are always looking for new members to help us incorporate sustainability into all aspects of the UBC community.
