We can all use new sources of inspiration when it comes to working toward greater sustainability. You can find them in this blog, where we profile some of the many people in the UNL community who make smart choices about the resources they use where they live, work and play.
Meet our Newest Sustainability Specialist
Hello! My name is Evan and I’m the newest member of the OS, and wanted to introduce myself. I am a freshman majoring in environmental studies and german, and am very passionate about ethics and human rights in sustainability. In my free time I enjoy doing art like photography and drawing, and studying languages (German, Russian, and Icelandic for 5, 3, and 3 years respectively)
The Student Organic Farm
In a tucked-away corner of East Campus hidden behind the College of Law lies a small plot of land where students gather each week to connect, learn, and grow food for their peers. It is called the Student Organic Farm.
A Path to Environmental Legislature
Hi! My name is Rachel Summers and I am an Environmental Studies major at UNL. I am currently studying to go into Environmental Law where I hope to eventually write environmental legislature, putting a focus on the need for sustainable practices and social justice issues within current policies.
The Power of Campus Collaboration
Hi, I am Damien, and it's been a good six months interning with the Office as a Sustainability specialist.
Where do Graphics Come From?
Hi, my name's Breanna Epp, I started as the graphic designer for the Office of Sustainability back at the beginning of August 2020. I jumped right in with my first major project to create signage for the OS's biggest event of the year, the Sustainability Summit. While this was kind of daunting at first, I was supported by my team, and it helped me gain confidence with the office. Since that giant task, I have taken on a variety of projects from creating signs and handouts for the new Recycling Pilot Program to creating templates for social media posts.
