"The University of Delaware’s commitment to greening the campus and its community has grown considerably in recent years,” said Natalie Stevenson, a UD senior. “Between the Sustainability Task Force, the annual Campus Sustainability Day, Students for the Environment and Earth Week, the University’s sustainability efforts in Newark have shown that we’re not just blue and gold, but going green. A partnership with Teens Turning Green can help continue our momentum and convince even more members of the community to adopt a conscious lifestyle.”
