Have an interest in sustainability, conservation, and preserving our environment? The Green Committee could use your help! The Penn State University Libraries Green Team was created to provide leadership for “green” initiatives and to promote environmental sustainability in the University Libraries. Recent initiatives include recycling efforts (adding plastics, Terracycle, and soon composting), reducing waste at University Libraries events, offering green options for supplies orders, and outreach efforts to Libraries departments and other University green committees and groups. Our committee meets once a month and welcomes employees from all locations. If you are interested in joining us and assisting with our efforts, please email us at ul-green-committee@lists.psu.edu.
