The name of the campaign (2nd campaign):
A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Green Team, a peer-oriented sustainability education program aims to show, lead, and demonstrate how students can make practical adjustments to their everyday lives that promote sustainability. Green Team operates on the notion that 'every little bit counts'. One example of an initiative under Green Team was composting. A group of volunteers worked on campus to educate students about composting. They are present for large events on campus as well as on regular days at the C-Street cafe.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Educating about composting methods by GreenTeam helps students adopt composting practice not only on campus but also in their homes. At the campus level, it reduces the amount of waste that otherwise went to 'trash' and could be utilized as a feed to plants.
