Get Involved

Whether you're a new student, a member of the faculty, or an administrative staff person, there are a wealth of ways to get involved in NYU Sustainability. We're here to help you share your ideas, energy and expertise; to reduce your own adverse environmental impacts; to help you educate others about sustainability; and to give you a personal stake in solving the larger campuswide, nationwide and global challenges that we face.

Sustainability Advocate Program

The Sustainability Advocate Program harnesses the effort, energy, and enthusiasm of employees to "green" their own departments and work spaces, while educating others and increasing awareness throughout the university.

Advocates are volunteers who spend a few hours per month of paid work time, encouraging colleagues to make environmentally preferable choices and leading departmental efforts to conserve energy, purchase green office products, and improve recycling. » more

Student Clubs and Listservs

The many active student environmental clubs on campus offer a wealth of social and activism opportunities. There are also several listservs that function as e-groups for subscribed NYU members to share information and events. Join the club or group that's right for you!

Or, sign up for the Sustainability Listserv.

StepChange video series

NYU Sustainability Advocate A.J. Jastrzembski from the Media Production office has been awarded a Green Grant from the Sustainability Task Force to carry out a variety of video projects ranging from 'how to green' clips to coverage of campus events, and more.
She is looking for people to interview on the following topics:

* * * Do you (or someone you know) have an international perspective on environmentalism, sustainability or general green-ness? I'm hoping to create a short video about global perspectives on sustainability. You don't have to be an expert (although that won't disqualify you ) - looking for many voices.


* * * How do you get here or there? What's your commute? (Blader, walker, rider, biker, runner, driver, ferrier, skip hop jumper?) Do you get muddy? Do you get mad? Do you have a commute like nobody else? Can I duct tape a camera to your bike for a couple minutes?

Please email A.J at stepchangevideo@gmail.com if you are interested and would like to participate in this project.
