UNBC Green Day

13th annual Green Day

Mar 3, 2020 | 3:55 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The 13th annual Green Day took place at UNBC today.

The theme of this year’s event was sustainable perspectives. And the event’s organizers deliberating chose that theme.

“I can invite as many organizations as I like without being restricted to energy, recycling, that sort of thing,” explained Teal Randle, because one person’s efforts to be sustainable may differ from another person’s, and they are all important.

UNBC is Canada’s Green University and it all started from humble roots. As an assignment from the university’s Environmental Sciences class in 2008.

While UNBC’s crowning glory for sustainability is its energy system on campus. But since its inception in 2008, there have been plenty of endeavours to make UNBC the greenest place possible, from the Wood Innovation Lab Building to something as modest as a coffee cup recycling drive. And there’s bound to be more, says UNBC’s Interim President, Dr. Geoff Payne.
