Growing Passion, Reducing Impact
Matilda Kitabwalla, CAS/BS ‘20
Being able to be part of this is just an incredible feeling.
AU becoming carbon neutral instills me with such a feeling of pride. I've worked on so many different aspects of sustainability-social media promotion, sustainability-themed trivia night, and the Waste Race, a competition between residence halls to divert trash away from landfill and into compost and recycling-so reaching this milestone still gives me goosebumps.
Learn more about ways to
get involved with Sustainability at AU.
