However, it feels great to know that I am able to help alleviate the problem by educating and demonstrating to the community how to recycle during these events.

It is the responsibility of the staff, faculty, and members of a building to conserve.

how much energy a building wastes and how we can improve the building’s energy efficiency. The interns have undergone training to proficiently audit buildings using tools to assist us during the audits. I refuse to be passive. The UOG Green student internship provided me the opportunity to be a part of the solution by transforming awareness into action. I also believe that UOG has enhanced my university experience through the Green internship program. I am realizing that I am making a difference. The internship is a tool that helped me develop skills and abilities that I never knew I was capable of. Most importantly, it helped me to inspire others to live sustainably for the sake of our planet and future generations. I strongly encourage others to join forces with UOG Green and to save our beautiful island for future generations to come.
