Temple Sustainability Share and Action Team

Sustainability Share and Action Team 

Our mission is to provide you the tools and resources you need to champion sustainability initiatives in your department or unit. 

During our quarterly meetings, participants can expect to hear about a range of topics from both Office of Sustainability staff and peers from around campus. Beyond simple resource sharing, we hope to grow a place where like-minded individuals can connect and build community.
