Our bioswales are more than just pretty landscaping features! These green infrastructure projects reduce stormwater runoff, help recharge the Chicot Aquifer, improve the quality of runoff, and provide a habitat for our pollinator friends.
The Office of Sustainability is working with Ragin' Cajuns Athletics to make Cajun Field a Zero Waste stadium. That means we are going to start collecting compost during football games! To make this run smoothly, we need student help as "zero waste goalies" during the games.
Check out our 10 ways to live a more sustainable life and get ahead for the Cajuns Don't Waste Challenge!
Campus sustainability efforts are integrated into the everyday lives of UL students, faculty, staff, and administration and Residence Life is no exception!
Zero Waste means we will be trying to divert as much waste from landfills as possible. As part of our Zero Waste Campaign, started in 2014, we will continue our recycling efforts and now we will be composting on game days at Cajun Field. Our goal for 2018 is to divert 60% of gameday waste from landfill. Look for red bins to recycle and black bins to compost at Cajun Field!
