IDEAS For Us – UCF focuses on environmental advocacy through education, action and awareness. First, we work on environmental education by seeking to guide our fellow students on ways to live a wholesome and sustainable lifestyle. We also strive to engage students in environmental action through projects that are based on achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Finally, we wish to create a space for students and teachers to collaborate and discuss on campus action projects that will bring us closer to our Carbon Neutral and Zero Waste goals.
Hive – Food Recovery
Food insecurity is a huge issue all around the world, and even on our UCF campus. Join us to hear from Jonathan Carr, UCF’s Food Recovery Coordinator, as he talks about the university’s effort to bring food security to all students through recovery and sustainable agriculture. Come join our discussion on campus recovery and how you can get more involved to help your community!
