Students gather during 2007 Earth Day festivities.
Students, faculty, and staff have an opportunity to get involved in Georgia Tech's "Green Buzz". Whether your involvement is through a personal commitment to carpool or recycle your office paper, Georgia Tech supports involvement in green efforts.
Many campus leaders have already forged a path to involvement. Please join them in their quest to create a greener, more sustainable Georgia Tech.
If you are already involved in environmental sustainability efforts, we want to hear from you. Please e-mail your information about classes, programs, research, activities, events, and efforts to greenbuzz@gatech.edu.
