Campus Race to Zero Waste Continues
Campus Race to Zero Waste
Help us celebrate zero waste on UTD campus through March 26th! Join us for events, activities, and social media challenges as we compete with other schools for the first-place title! This month, join us for our signature event, Mount Trashmore, a visual representation of the trash and recycling UTD produces in a day, and a free e-waste collection event.
Office of Sustainability Mural Competition
Do you like art? Want to make a permanent mark on campus? The UTD Eco Hub is in need of mural art for its shed! We are looking for 3 mural pieces from students relating to gardening, farming, and other relevant nature and sustainability topics. You can find more information in the link below, and all additional questions can be forwarded to sustainability@utdallas.edu.
Women’s History Month
Women have long been stewards of the environment and protectors of the Earth. This month, we’re celebrating the women and nonbinary individuals who inspire us by fighting for the planet and protecting the Earth’s resources.
Get ready for the Global Sustainability Experience!
The Naveen Jindal School of Management will hold its first Sustainability Competition in spring 2022, and students are invited to present their business plan ideas to address and propose a solution to sustainability challenges. Through innovative approaches and fresh perspectives, we believe UT Dallas students can develop potential solutions to critical global issues through transformative leadership. The final round of the competition will be held in person on Earth Day, April 22, 2022.
Shared Air DFW
Have questions about air quality in DFW? Check out Shared Air DFW, a tool created in a collaborative effort by the University of Texas at Dallas, Downwinders at Risk, the City of Plano, Dallas County, Dallas College, and Paul Quinn College. It is the first and only regional “hyper-local” air monitoring network in Texas and one of the only ones being built by any US city. Dr. David Lary, who helped lead this project, will be giving a talk about his work on Wednesday March 23 from 3-4pm.
