Evergreen is an enviromentally conscious organization that helps to educate the DU community on sustainability on-campus and works to keep our local neighborhoods clean and green. We collaborate with Facilities Management on Campus to help educate students and staff on recycling efforts available on campus as well as many of the new "green" upgrades being made to our campus buildings. Off-campus, we collaborate with the Uptown Partners of Pittsburgh working to keep the Uptown neighborhood that we are a part of a cleaner and greener place. Activities include Green Week during the fall semester, the Earth Day Fair and Spring Clean-Up during the spring semester as well monthly litter pick ups and educational oppurtunies throughout the year.
