The Office of Sustainability on Temple University’s campus hosted the third annual Campus Sustainability Day at the Bell Tower on Main Campus from 11 a.m to 2 p.m on Oct. 20, 2010. The day brought together student organizations, outside organizations, departments and offices as part of an outreach and engagement event by the Office of Sustainability.  This event included a sustainability pledge, SEPTA hybrid bus, micro-turbine, recycling displays, student organization sign-ups, swap/reuse table and electric vehicles.  

The goal of the event was to create awareness on Temple’s campus about how the Temple community can participate in the initiative to be a sustainable university.  Featured at the event was Temple’s own Verde Styles, recent grant recipients of $25K from the Pepsi Refresh Project to continue their sustainable business strategy of planting a tree with every purchase made.
