UGA is one step GREENER!!!

With the success of The Green Initiative Fee, an informational meeting to discuss UGA and Athens Going Green will be held at 6:30 pm on Wed., April 22 in Rm 147 in the Miller Learning Center. The event is open to students, faculty and other members of the UGA community to learn more about conservation and recycling to help the planet. The meeting is expected to last 90 minutes.

The forum, which will continue with Earth Day’s theme of “It’s So Easy Being Green,” will highlight how simple it is to help the environment. The event will feature suggestions and solutions, as well as ways to become more involved.

There will be 6 panelists speaking on various GREEN issues around campus and Athens.  The panelists are:

Audience members will be invited to ask questions and participate in discussion. Following the formal portion of the event, audience members will have the opportunity to personally interact and discuss issues with the panelists and each other.

The event is hosted by Dr. Lynn Sallot’s Public Relations Campaign class and is a part of the National Conversation of Climate Action.
