Happy Campus Sustainability Month, Patriots!

Campus Sustainability Month is celebrated every October at George Mason University in alignment with the month-long, international celebration of sustainability in higher education. Join Facilities and Campus Operations' University Sustainability team, along with partners, for a month of fun, educational, and engaging activities and events! Grow food sustainably on campus, opt for reuse rather than single-use to support Zero Waste, donate items you don’t want at a Patriot Packout Swap and Hop, apply for a grant from the Patriot Green Fund, and much more! Make a sustainable impact, celebrate success, and learn how you can get more involved. 

GET ENGAGED. MAKE A SUSTAINABLE IMPACT.

Every action matters. Let’s act more sustainably individually and as a George Mason community to make the university even more sustainable! Integrate the sustainability topics you care about into your day-to-day: class projects, academic courses, research, and your work at George Mason. Let’s act this Campus Sustainability Month, every day, and every month!
