#UofG’s new Guelph Institute for Environmental Research (GIER) is announcing its first round of funding towards 8 diverse research projects, all aimed at solving global environmental problems: uoguel.ph/h9e6y #EarthDay UofGSustainability

Today is the 50th anniversary of #EarthDay. A lot has changed on the #UofG campus since the 1970's, but one thing that has stayed the same is students being at the forefront of shaping our sustainability story. What changes will students be leading over the next 50 years?

The federal government is investing in two projects intended to reduce #UofG's carbon footprint and provide more sustainable transportation options. Learn more: uoguel.ph/edi7m

The switch to electric cars is something that we’ve been told would happen...someday. Well, someday is here. We’re installing EV charging stations across 🇨🇦.

Congratulations 🎉 @LangDean_1 Rumina Dhalla and all the other incredible folks who have helped build Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics into Canada's leading business school for its focus on empowering leaders to build a more sustainable and equitable world. 👏🎉🌳

U of G is rated AASHE GOLD!! Sustainability has been part of our story for decades, and this honour recognizes the hard work of so many University of Guelph students, faculty and staff.

Commercial spaces are often left out of the "affordability" conversation, yet they play such an important role in enhancing quality of life & supporting vibrant communities. Excited to finally see @itsrachelsinger article published in Spacing on commercial affordability!🛒

& just like that we're down to being a 1 🚗 household! We need to build more neighbourhoods, and infill existing ones, to give folks a real choice on the # of vehicles they need, rather than necessitate it by bad urban design.

At #UofG sustainability is part of who are. Our faculty is conducting groundbreaking research; from building a circular food economy to reducing greenhouse gases, U of G is committed to improving life & our planet. Learn more: sustainability.uoguelph.ca UofGSustainability
