For the fourth year, the UW Husky Green Award will recognize students, faculty and staff who have demonstrated leadership, initiative, and dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainability. We need your help to ensure our students, peers and faculty don’t go unrecognized!
Past winners include
- Dean Pearson, who oversees compost, recycling and garbage sorting after each football game, which has helped increase waste diversion from 29% in 2009 to 43% in 2011 in Husky Stadium
- Justin Hellier, a PoE Sustainability Studio instructor who has worked with students to envision and implement sustainability projects all over campus
- Storm Hodge who, through his leadership, has made it possible for 54% of food purchases to be sourced locally. He has also helped over 650 tons of food waste to be diverged to composting
- Cheryl Wheeler & Patio Display Garden Team who all have revitalized outdoor spaces at the UW Tower with low-maintenance edible plants and reclaimed huckleberry bushes, while donating fresh produce to the University Food Bank.
If you know someone who has been making our campus greener and more sustainable nominate them now! The deadline for submissions is March 30, 2013. To nominate someone, go to green.washington.edu/hga
