George A. Smathers Libraries Green Team

Here are a few information sources and links that were mentioned in the UF Green Team captain’s meeting:

The Office of Sustainability Green Team Google Group.  This is a way to share information across all campus Green Teams and for the Office of Sustainability to share information with us.  I’ll be sending you an invite shortly to your work email address.  You could sign up with your gmail account if you prefer to do that instead.

If you haven’t done so already, you may want to sign up for the Office of Sustainability newsletter at http://sustainability.ufl.edu/ Click the link and sign up with your email address near the top left of the page.

The website for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) is a nice resource.  UF has a membership to it, so you can sign up with your ufl email account.  You can browse the site to see what other schools are doing with recycling, energy, etc.

Hi Team,

The suggestion of organic cotton t-shirts is a good one!  Would someone on our team be willing to look into getting an estimate from a t-shirt company regarding costs that would include:

1. Price of an organic cotton t-shirt

2. Set-up charge for the printing of the shirts

3.   Cost as it relates to quantity printed. For example 50 t-shirts $480.00, 100 t-shirts $401.00 etc.

Lastly, is there someone on our team who would like to designing the t-shirt or should we discuss this at our next meeting as a group?  Please share your comments and feedback.  Have a great day!
