Welcome to the UOG Green initiative home page!
 
The goal of UOG Green is to develop a sustainable campus environment that can serve as a model for our island and the region. Sustainability means meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This concept is the driving force of the UOG Green initiative as we develop program components focusing on recycling, education and outreach, and alternative/renewable energy.
 
Join the UOG Green Army or our team of Green interns as we build a sustainable Guam. If you would like us to teach you more about how to build a sustainable Guam, contact the UOG Green team and schedule a presentation today!
