  Green Weeks
   
Adam Tracey

Following a successful Green Week during the 2007-2008 academic year, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) decided to prolong the activity to a month long format with the goal of educating the university community about the environment and encouraging a lifestyle change.

This October, Green Weeks will offer engaging activities related to sustainable development. Activities include a film series, green bag lunches with keynote speakers, guest lectures, a sustainable business conference and active workshops that include such topics as balcony gardening and composting.

For more information on the various activities associated with Green Weeks, contact the SFUO Sustainable Development Coordinators, Adam Tracey and Katherine Sullivan at sustainable@sfuo.caor visit the SFUO site at www.sfuo.ca.
