Website for all Sustainability Groups Launches!

earthweekuva — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 20:06:36 +0000

http://sustainaunity.wordpress.com/ was created on November 19, 2010 after a semester of collaboration from environmental student leaders at UVA. The need came about when we started to be more overlap between projects and quickly growing number of initiatives and groups, with relatively little sharing of information. This site is for students to share information about their projects, and to help incoming students find a group or project that interests them. CHECK IT OUT!

This site will also work in collaboration with EarthWeekUVA by encouraging groups to submit info. about their events during the week to get mass publicity by being added to a calendar.

The No Impact Experiment

earthweekuva — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:15:34 +0000

What is the No Impact Experiment? (We’re glad you asked!)

“The No Impact Experiment is a one-week carbon cleanse. It is a chance for you to see what a difference no-impact living can have on your quality of life. It’s not about giving up creature comforts but an opportunity for you to test whether the modern ‘conveniences’ you take for granted are actually making you happier or just eating away at your time and money” (http://www.noimpactproject.org/experiment).

The University Unity Project and now UVA Earth Week 2010 are about bringing people together around common interests related to environmental sensitivity and sustainability. We hope to do more than just put on a bunch of one-time events throughout Earth Week (April 15th-April 22nd) and are interested in creating a lasting impact on members of the University Community. We can think of no better way to do this than to encourage people to think about the way their lifestyles impact the earth as well as their personal overall well-being and the well-being of their community. The No Impact Experiment has been tried by people around the world and has proven to do exactly this.

The next official No Impact Experiment begins today Sunday April 18th and will last until the following Sunday April 25th. We encourage you to sign-up online and/or check out the No-Impact How-To Manual to get some ideas about how you can engage in this one-week carbon cleanse!
