Welcome to Green Week 2012

At Purdue, we strive for sustainability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. During Green Week, join us as we showcase some of our campus sustainability efforts, related to Energy Efficiency, Water Management, Alternative Transportation, Sustainable Food, Recycling and Community Outreach. Pick a day — or, better yet, pick all six! — and let's figure out together how to become better at what we do, and live more sustainably on campus.

Take our survey to let us know about your Green Week 2012 experience, and win some GREAT PRIZES.
