The first prize of €3,000 will go to the member who is the most active and influential in informing other Green2Cool members – and non-members too – about the reasons why excessive meat-eating is not only eco-UNfriendly, it’s also not cool for the planet, not cool for her beautiful inhabitants, and not cool for our health. (And if the animals could sign up, we’re sure they would might have a thing or two to say about it as well.)

I wish every community had a recycling program such as the U of A provides. Their efforts in that field are examples of what could and should be for all of us.
Still, I wonder about one aspect: what happens to the throwaway food service containers that are utilized by the cafeteria? What kind of trade-off exists between water, detergent, and energy used in washing reusable trays and the use of throwaway serving containers?
A sad fact: the community where I live quit recycling clear glass. Still, I've been successful in giving this glass away through an online group dedicated to recycling.
I think it's entirely pathetic that more students do not know about "going green" around campus. More education on the subject should be regulated and enforced. If the university cares so much about the environment then perhaps classes on the subject should be required much like remedial classes in various majors. A very small percentage of students on campus care about this cause and I believe it is hypocritical to boast about the campus' site improvement but not focus on the individuals (ie. students, faculty, workers). I hadn’t even heard about the bikes available for riding around campus until this video and I consider myself a “recycling maniac” as dubbed by this institutional video.
Looks like the University is putting alot of time, effort, and money into sustainability. It's great to see them leading the way in "The Natural State."
It seems the University of Arkansas is really making progress towards addressing local and global environmental issues on their campus. Way to go Arkansas!
