Welcome to Green & Me, a guide for those interested in personal sustainability.
Sustainability is a vitally important to ensuring the environmental, societal, and economic viability of our future. Because of this, every capable individual has the responsibility to live a sustainable lifestyle. What a sustainable lifestyle entails can be confusing, especially to those who live on their own. Green & Me is a guide to living a sustainable lifestyle in the modern world, specifically tailored to University of Virginia students who live off-grounds. This blog presents those interested in sustainability with a diverse set of sustainable actions that they can take, ranging from the basics of recycling to urban gardening.
Green & Me began as a project for an English class on Communicating with the Public focusing on a problem in the community that needed to be solved. Many UVa students want to live a sustainable lifestyle but they do not know where to start. The UVa Office of Sustainability has an abundance of information regarding sustainability, but it is fairly centered on those who live on-grounds. Green & Me fills this gap on off-grounds living. Green & Me applies first hand knowledge of living sustainably in the Charlottesville community to help educate those interested in sustainability.
