Go Green On Campus

Here at Campus Solutions we are always excited to know about green initiatives. That is why we want to inform you about MobilizeU. MobilizeU is an international competition between colleges and universities that urges students to engage their campus communities in four weeks of environmental activism around Earth Day 2012 (March 29 – April 29). Over the month-long competition, students will rally their campuses to generate as many “acts of green” as possible, through activities such as collecting personal act-of-green pledges, registering new voters, leading community clean-ups, and organizing major Earth Day events, as well as intensifying environmental initiatives that their schools are already working on.

Each of these activities will be broken down into a calculable number of “acts of green,” or actions that either educate someone about the environment or reduce an individual’s carbon footprint. Most commonly, acts of green can be quantified by the number of people educated at an event or the number of service hours donated during a community project.  Every act of green generated during MobilizeU will contribute to Earth Day Network’s global A Billion Acts of Green® initiative – thus providing a platform for college students to make a significant impact on the international scale.

Campus Solutions is a college marketing company, which has established a unique college media outlet that ensures sustainability of natural resources while allowing brands to implement a green strategy on US college campuses.  We believe that this would be a great opportunity for companies that would like to improve their green-image, while also helping students become more aware of green initiatives. We could implement a unique OOH media plan and use our personal network of 3000 schools across the US.

Going green has become a trend that many college students are becoming more and more aware of, especially in fraternities and sororities. This past February, 29 Greek houses participated in the “do it in the dark” contest.  It’s a newly created energy sustainability contest that will hopefully grow within in the next few years and cut across many of the US college campus. In its first year, they have estimated that roughly 6,000 students in the Greek organizations are participating. According to Ian Champ, who is one of the co-founders of the contest, “the Greeks love competition” and “everyone seems excited about the contest”.

There are three prizes that will be awarded at the end of the following month. The 3 housed with the highest kilowatt-hour reduction compared with their February 2011 bills will when the “Green Gorilla” prize, which is a $750 donation to any charitable organization.  When it comes to the smaller houses they will base the winner off the percentage of reduction in kilowatt-hour.

Campus Solution sees this as a great opportunity for businesses to jump in on the action and help inform students on how to conserve energy. It’s a great way for companies to utilize our extensive “Greek organization network” to help these houses conserve energy, while being informed of your products. We can have street teams that go directly to the houses and offer your products with energy saving tips. We can also have company branded t-shirts with quotes like “ I can shower quicker then you can” or “Turn me on by turning (picture of a switch) me off”. Our brand ambassadors can also hand out flyers and inform students face to face, while providing information on your company and brands.

A study released this month by Arizona Republic tested 84 reusable grocery bags for contamination and discovered that more than half were contaminated with bacteria that could cause serious illness.  The findings suggests that by unknowingly placing raw meat in reusable bags, consumers may be taking serious health risks if they are not consistently washing the cloth bags with detergent and water.  At Campus Solutions, we see this as an opportunity for marketers to implement a branded detergent distribution within grocery stores and health nutrition stores.

In Campus Solutions’ 2nd annual environmental trends and activities review on college campuses this year and for Earth Day ’10, it is encouraging to learn that by 2010, the majority of campuses have engaged in various programs promoting either environmental awareness, sustainability, research, education or outreach.  Campuses continue to be at the forefront of environmental stewardship.  But during the current economic conditions, how have university funded green initiatives been affected?  The higher education system budget cut crisis has limited funding several university programs promoting environmental change.

But there is good news.  College students are responsible for influencing schools to implement environmental programs by lobbying for environmental causes.  Students continue to evoke change within their communities and on campuses around the country.  And higher ed institutions acknowledged that although budgets have been slashed, there is a continued support toward environmental programs, activities, initiatives and outreach.
