Most Beautiful Campus
Transcript: Our group came to a conclusion that we enjoyed volunteering in the grove to help educate the tailgaters on recycling. As we were passing out the bags to recycle, one guy said "Thank-you, anything to help keep the grove as beautiful as it is." That statement made us feel good about what we were doing because it let us know that not only us, but others care about our beautiful campus. Most of the tailgaters already knew how to recycle so all we had to do was hand them their bags. We got a chance to interact with the tailgaters and meet other people that volunteer on the regular. One guy that was assigned in a group with us told us that he started volunteering for community service hours, but after volunteering so much, he began to love it and volunteered every home game and even the sorting committee. We were skeptical at first to volunteer on the rival game simply because we had to also educate the Mississippi St. fans as well. But we did not have any issues and they were very respectful and did not give us a hard time. After finishing one section, we reported back and they gave us other sections to do. The project lasted about an hour and half and after that we were finish. It was not as hard as we imagined. It was simply walking around, passing out bags and letting the tailgaters know what they can and can not recycle. It was a great experience for our group and it exposed us to new resources that we were not aware of before. Reflection To end our presentation we just wanted to emphasize that we enjoyed the experience and would not mind doing it again. We also wanted to stress the importance and perks of volunteering. Volunteering helps the community and also helps you as well. By volunteering you can earn community service hours, add the experience to your resume and more. Volunteering with the Office of Sustainability our group received a Green Grove t-shirt, reserved seating in the game, and just the satisfaction that we helped our community and environment. Do you love the beautiful scenery that the campus of Ole Miss offers? We know we do! Who do you guys think is partially responsible for the beautiful campus? The Office of Sustainability of course! We got a chance to experience first hand on what the Office of Sustainability is all about and we would like to share it with you guys! The biggest issue for the Office of Sustainability is recycling. Recycling is the issue because not many people know how to properly recycle and it is left for waste. For our project we had to volunteer on game day to educate the tailgaters on how to recycle and give them proper recycling supplies. Recycling helps reduce pollution. The area of need is for more people to volunteer and help recycle and sort the recyclables to keep the grove and other parts of the community clean and waste free. If we as citizens of this community can come together and reduce pollution, the issue will reduce quickly. All about the Office of Sustainability The Office of Sustainability was established in July 2008.
