Thank you for wanting to make our university more sustainable! We invite you to browse our catalog of activities that our Student Sustainability Impact Team provides for departments, units, and student clubs at UB.

Request a Service

Compost Pickup

Is your office interested in composting food scraps and coffee grounds? The SSIT can help haul away your food scraps. To participate, your office must first go through compost training and be willing to have a designated staff member serve as a point of contact.

Energy Audit

Are you interested in knowing how much energy your office or lab uses? We can quantify your plug load and work with you to develop ways to make your space more efficient.

Green Event Kit

Want to make your event zero-waste? We can provide reusable plates and utensils. Our SSIT team will deliver the materials and pick them up when finished.

Hired Pop-up

Let us help you organize a small sampling of what Hired, our professional clothing boutique, has to offer for the students in your department.

Leftover Food Pickup

Do you have leftover food from an event you don’t want to waste? A team member will pick it up and give it to those looking for a meal.

Waste Audit

Assess how your unit reduces waste and divertes resources! Have our SSIT team sift through your waste to identify ways to improve your habits surrounding material waste.

Can't find what you're looking for? Let us know if you have an idea for a sustainable task We will work with you to see if we can make it happen.

Please Note:

This is a pilot year for our Student Sustainability Impact Team. We will do our best to fulfill all requests, but please be aware that it might not be possible in every instance.

There are also more services currently under development- much more to come!

The team appreciates your patience.
