Three groups of students have been awarded the first-ever UU直播 Sustainability Innovation Prize, a $5,000 award created to recognize, reward and accelerate UU直播鈥檚 most innovative sustainability ideas.
Their new green initiatives included recycling solvents used in undergraduate laboratories, reducing the environmental footprint of professional sporting events, and a subscription service for eco-friendly toy packages.
The competition, held at UU直播鈥檚 ONRamp co-working space for startups, is an initiative of the President鈥檚 Advisory Committee on the Environment, Climate Change, and Sustainability, which laid out a plan last year to incorporate sustainable ideas and practices into UU直播鈥檚 operations.
