The UW Sustainability office is launching a timeline of University of Washington's achievements and milestones in sustainability and environmental stewardship. The project, "A Century of Sustainability," includes entries dating back to the earliest days of the current UW site in 1895 and includes highlights up to the present day.

There are lots of ways to learn about sustainability efforts at the University of Washington this week at Dawg Daze while having fun, finding new spots on campus and getting a chance to win prizes.
Now there are even more ways for members of the UW community to stay connected to the university's sustainability efforts.
University of Washington is a vibrant green campus, and it’s not just because spring has sprung! Over the next two weeks you’ll likely come across one of our Sustainability Tour sandwich boards featuring spots on campus that are engaged in one of our many ongoing sustainable initiatives. The hope is that these boards will inform touring prospective students and families that sustainability and environmental stewardship are deeply rooted on campus, as well as engage the community in some green Husky pride.
