Beginning Feb. 15, the U of L Sustainability Council is hosting a two week long event that challenges students to conserve energy and be eco-friendly. Known as Ecolympics, the event takes place through March 6 and is a battle between residence halls to reduce electricity use and trash production.
“Ecolympics is U of L’s largest annual effort to engage people on campus, especially residents, in the broader effort to improve campus sustainability by challenging them through friendly competition to take action in their daily lives,” said Justin Mog, an assistant to the Provost for Sustainability Initiatives at U of L.
