We are currently in the second week of NYUnplugged -- the energy saving competition between our residence halls. The winning building will receive a free brunch! To check out your building’s progress go to: www.nyu.edu/sustainability/
To bring increased attention and awareness to sustainability and civic engagement, we have declared Tuesday, November 9 - Tuesday, November 16 to be Green Apple Week. During Green Apple Week, your hall will be producing a variety of initiatives to promote sustainability and civic engagement. Below are some ways that you can engage in Green Apple Week and make an impact in your community:
